\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bobby was a happy little boy who loved animals. On\u00a0 the life style block<\/span><\/span>\u00a0where he lived there was a donkey, two dogs called Skip and Spot, several\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0calves and a mother cow called Brownie. Bobby loved them all, and spent all\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0his spare time outside with them. Bobby\u2019s dad milked Brownie each morning\u00a0<\/span><\/span>\u00a0and took the milk inside\u00a0 for Mother. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Every Sunday the family went to church and the children would go off into their classes. Bobby learned all about Jesus in his class. His teacher told them the most interesting stories. One Sunday she explained how Jesus had been killed by some wicked men and had\u00a0 come back to life three days later. After a few weeks, He had gone back to heaven while His friends watched. She said they saw angels who said that one day Jesus was going to come again the same way. <\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby listened to all this and thought that it was alright for grown-ups, but it really didn’t have anything to do with little boys.\u00a0 At lunch time, his mother asked him about the lesson. Bobby thought for a minute and then remembered it was that Jesus was coming back\u00a0 one day.\u00a0 \u201cDoes that mean that everyone is going to be with Jesus then?\u201d his father asked. Bobby thought again. \u201cNo\u201d, he said, \u201cTeacher said that only those who love Jesus will go to be with Him\u201d. \u201cDo you love Jesus?\u201d Father asked. Bobby squirmed. He knew\u00a0 he loved his animals more than anything else, maybe even more than Jesus.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby soon forgot all this and time went by. One evening at tea-time, Father said, \u201cI\u2019ve been thinking Bobby. Would you like to have Brownie all for your own?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0\u201cOoh, yes!\u201d Bobby exclaimed.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cWell\u201d, said Father, \u201c I\u2019ve decided that when Jesus comes back, you can have Brownie all\u00a0for yourself!”\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u201cOoh yippee!\u201d cried Bobby, \u201cAll for me!\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n

After tea, he rushed out to where Brownie was munching her hay, and whispered in her ear, \u201cYou will be all mine when Jesus comes back!\u201d Then he suddenly thought, Father and Mother won\u2019t be here though, they will have gone with Jesus.\u00a0 Sarah and Emma\u00a0 won\u2019t be here either because they love Jesus and will be with Him too! Maybe it isn\u2019t such a good idea after all!<\/span><\/i> But Brownie gave a little moo and rubbed her head against his shoulder. She was SUCH a nice animal, and she loved him too. He would be able to look after her all the time! <\/span><\/p>\n

Bobby woke up that night and everything was SO quiet. Perhaps Jesus had come already and everyone else had gone! His heart started to pound, and he sneaked down the passage outside his parent\u2019s bedroom to see if he could hear them. There was no noise! Then he heard a faint snore, and his heart slowed down again. It was alright, his parents were still there! <\/span><\/p>\n

But he couldn\u2019t get back to sleep again. He knew\u00a0 he wouldn\u2019t go to be with Jesus because he loved Brownie more. Suddenly Brownie didn’t seem so important. He wanted to be sure he would go with Jesus when He came back. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Bobby slipped out of bed and kneeled down beside it. \u201cPlease Lord Jesus\u201d, he whispered, \u201cI\u00a0 want to love You more than I do. I want to be with You when You come back. Please forgive my sins and help me to know You better\u201d. He crawled back into bed, and oh the relief that filled him! He knew he would still love Brownie,\u00a0 <\/span><\/p>\n

but now He would\u00a0 love Jesus the most.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\"cow\"<\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
