"THE MESSAGE"


Here is something on the lighter side.
-----------------------------------------------------------

THE MESSAGE

A married couple just had their first child, a baby boy.  The husband said to his wife,
“I’m going down to the Western Union office and send off a telegram to mom and pop
and let them know that we have a new baby boy.”

When he got to the telegraph office he found out that he only had  one dollar in his wallet.
Being a smart fellow he figured out a short message quickly to send to his parents.
 
He asked if he could include numbers with a word and the lady said that he could.
He then told her to send this message <Isaiah 9:6> and then he gave her his parent’s name
and address along with his dollar.

(Isaiah 9:6  For unto us a child is born; unto us a son is given; . . . )

His pop was the one that received the message a few hours later.  He wasn’t a Bible scholar as his son was, but when he saw Isaiah 9:6, he got all excited.  He shouted out to his wife in the kitchen, “Martha, Martha, the kids just got a baby boy!   The little fellow’s name is Isaiah and he weighs 9 pounds and 6 ounces!”
