What Have You Done?

What have you done?’ A mother of three small boys had found proof that one of them had broken one of the rules of the house. She queried, “OK, which of you guys has been doing something you weren’t supposed to?” That line of interrogation hadn’t produced a confession. “Not me, Mom.” “I didn’t do anything wrong.” Those were the kind of responses she received. Evening came and as she put her brood to bed, and with her hand poised on the switch to turn out the lights she announced, “I'm going to bed soon. When I do, in my prayers I'm going to ask God who broke the rules. Don't you think one of you boys would like to confess before I ask God?" After a few seconds hesitation, came the reply, "I think we’d like to wait and see what God says."
