God Can Put Me Together Again - Humpty Dumpty Story - Humor
Contributed by J Jeffrey Smead on Dec 3, 2025 (message contributor)
Remember Humpty Dumpty?
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall;
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall;
All the king's horses ... and all the king's men
Couldn't put Humpty together again.
Did you have a Humpty Dumpty when you were a child.
To me ... he looked like a big egg ... with a face on it ... that had Legs and Arms sticking out.
Yet ... according to the story ... when he fell ... no one ... including all the men in the Kingdom ... could put him ... together again.
Supposedly this Nursery Rhyme is based on an English drink called ... a "Humpty Dumpty" ... which was a 17th Century Intoxicating English drink ... made with Brandy ... boiled with ... Ale.
It would probably be difficult to even sit on a chair let alone a wall after a few ... "Humpty Dumpties".
Well Shortly after our Children were born ... my wife Lee found a book titled ... The Christian Mother Goose.
In the book ... Instead of three Blind Mice .... there were three Kind Mice... who by the way ... did not have their tales carved off.
And there was Humpty Dumpty as Well:
(Open the Book)
Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty Dumpty had a great fall
Humpty Dumpty shouted Amen
God can put me together again.
O' Beloved ... we have a loving God ... who loves us deeply.
And we should look at life ... with joy ... in our hearts.
A glass that is not half empty... or half full .... but one overflowing.
A life bearing good fruit ... bearing the fruit of the Spirit ... in all that we say ... and in ... all that we do.
A life that can continually shout ... Amen!
For when we fall ... for when we are broken ... God in deed can put us together .... again.
