Gospel
But the poor man
had nothing
but one little ewe lamb,
...and he brought it up,
and it grew up with him
and with his children;
it used to eat
of his morsel,
and drink
from his cup...and
it was
like a daughter
to him.
[2 Samuel 12:3]
***********************
"Well, DID HE,
LORD?"
"What,
My precious."
"Don't Ya see my QUESTION?
It's right THERE!"
[SOLEMN NOD.]
"Yes, child.
I see it."
(Face brightens!)
"So........ He DID?"
[PATIENT FROWN.]
"What does My Word say,
child."
"NOTHIN'!
It doesn't say NOTHIN'!"
[LOUD RUMBLE.]
"I mean, about
Jesus havin' a PET!"
[PATIENT RUMBLE.]
"Child:
what does My Word say?"
"'Bout what."
[SIGH.]
"Child, I want you
to read My Word."
"HEY!
I DO!
But, I don't UNDERSTAND
most of it! What's all
this business about
SAINTS?
And CROWNS?
It doesn't make any SENSE!
NOBODY's a SAINT!
And.......WHY would I
wanna wear a CROWN?"
"You must have patience, child."
"I don't have any 'a that,
Lord. Never did.
Plus, I'm JEWISH!
JEWS don't BELIEVE in saints!"
[RUMBLING SIGH.]
"Yes.
I know."
(Shrug.)
"And, what's my PATIENCE
gotta do with anything?
That's not my topic
of discussion, here,
ANYWAY!"
[PATIENT NOD.]
"No, child.
[FROWN.]
But, it is Mine."
"HEY!
(Turn face up toward ceiling.)
This is MY PIECE!
I wanna stick to my TOPIC!"
[CHUCKLE.]
"WELL?"
(Squint up at dusty picture
on the wall.)
Well, DID HE,
Lord?
DID HE?"
[SMILE.]
"It is a Mystery,
little one."
"Yeah; okay."
(Dejected shrug.)
Still; I'd enjoy Your Book
a whole lot more if You
talked about some 'a the pets
Jesus had. For
instance......did He HEAL
any? How come they
don't talk about THAT?"
[PATIENT SHAKE OF THE HEAD.]
"Child, child.........."
"I'm SERIOUS, LORD!"
[PATIENT NOD.]
"I know, little one.
[LONG PAUSE.]
And.....
so am I."
**************************
And when
the chief Shepherd
is manifested
you will obtain
the unfading
crown
of glory.
[1 Peter 5:4]

This tickled me. I kept wanting to say, 'He's a shepherd Who lovingly cares for His sheep. We're His pets!' LoL. Then I thought, 'Kewl, I'm His pet.' *grin* Well done!
