Short Stories
Luke 23:34,35
I looked up, appeased by His swollen face – ready to spit on His feet. The stench of agony fed my fury at this man, for the true Christ of God would save Himself.
Faint words washed over me like rain, “Father, forgive them …”
His foot trembled at my touch.

Luke 10:30-37/John 13:35
The priest sneered at the huddled form on the dusty road – the Levite looked away in disgust.
The man lay dying, alone.
The Samaritan bandaged and carried him to safety, leaving more than enough money for his care – the Innkeeper amazed at such kindness.
“By this all men will know…”

Luke 21:1,2
Her shawl was tattered but clean, her sandals worn but mended. Peace was upon her face for she had two copper coins to share with her Lord, and she was content.
Pockets of gold jingled as men turned their backs on her poverty.
They went home to satisfy their hunger.

Luke 22:60-62
The last cry of the rooster pierced the commotions of the night. Peter turned and looked straight into Jesus’ eyes.
Shame flushed through his veins and he looked away – denials heavy upon his heart.
Bitter tears could not lift their weight for a Rock had been chiseled to fit.

Luke 18:15-17

“Do not hinder them …” He admonished the disciples.
He continued to reach out for the babies and children, laughing along with their giggles.

These were wonderful. You really did make pictures for us to see of the familiar stories.
All are great but #4 is my favorite. Thanks for sharing.

Very cool, Pat - love them all, but especially the widow's mite one. That last line is PERFECT. Now do the OT (the whole thing LOL) in 50 or less!
My favorite was #3 the story of the poor woman and her copper coins. Such an important analogy.
These were delightful to read! Of course, with four little ones of my own, the last is my absolute favorite.
I enjoyed the all. They made the memory of the stories come alive.
"laughing along with their giggles" - paints a beautiful picture. I love these!
