A Wee Bit of Easter Humor
Rabbits had overrun three churches in Morebattle Village, seven miles south of Kelso beside the River Kale in Scotland. The village pastors had tried everything in their power to remove them. After a great deal of prayer, the church wardens of the first church determined that the animals were predestined to be there. Who were they to interfere with God's will? However, the rabbits continued to multiply.
The second church's wardens also decided that they could not harm
any of God's creatures; so they purchased some humane traps, caught the miscreants and set the rabbits free outside of village forest. Several days later, the rabbits returned much to the Council's dismay.
It was only the third church, Holy Trinity, which succeeded in keeping the intruders away. The pastor baptized the rabbits and registered them as members of the church.
Now they only see them at Christmas and Easter.
