A Pup-etts Children Story

                       

.

Penelope comes in looking sorrowful and droopy
.
Darius       Hey kiddo. How was your first day back to school?
.
Penelope      It was Horrible. I'm never going back to that school. Never never ever again!
.
Darius looking concerned
.
"It can't be all that bad. What happend that was so horrible?"
  

.                                

Penelope

"They called me a Christian"

.

Winky "Well, What's wrong with that. After all, We are Christians aren't we?
.
Penelope "It was how they said it. It was like I did something wrong and should be ashamed" 
.
Winky "Ashamed to be a Christian? Ashamed to Love Jesus? How could anybody not Love Jesus?
.
Penelope "Than why do they all laugh at me and make fun of me?"
.
Darius "It's because they don't know Jesus. And They believe all the bad things other people tell them about Jesus."
.
.
"It's like You and Sammy. Before you got to know him you thought he was just another goofy looking kid. The better you got to know him the more you liked him. And now that you really know him well, you are madly in love with him."
.
Penelope looks embarrassed and  blushes
.
Penelope "Sammy is really nice. He's wonderful"
.
Winky "Yes he is and so is Jesus. Once you get to know Him."
.
Penelope "I do love Jesus. I really do."
.
.
Darius "Well sweetie, the bible says that you should rejoice and be really glad when people make fun of you and mistreat you because you love Jesus. For you will have a great reward in Heaven."
.
"So you see. They are really doing you a favor. Every time they make fun of you because of Jesus, your reward in Heaven gets bigger and bigger."
.
Penelope "Really? I never thought of it like that. 
.
Winky "You should feel sorry for the kids that don't know Jesus and help them get to know Him."
.
Penelope "Yes. But How?"
.
Darius "Just smile and tell everyone how wonderful He is and how much you love Him."
.
Penelope "What if they just keep teasing me?"
Winky "Just smile real big because your reward in Heaven keeps getting bigger and bigger."
.
Penelope Smiles Real Big
.
Penelope "I will. I will do that. Now I am no longer afraid of going to school. I will go back and tell them how wonderful Jesus is. 
.

Darius and Winkie Smile real big at each other
