LITTLE JESUS COMES TO TOWN

WHEN LITTLE JESUS COMES TO YOUR DOOR YOU FIND THAT YOU ARE NOT SURE WHAT TO DO. LITTLE JESUS IS WEARING SNEAKERS. HE IS WEARING A BACKWARDS BASEBALL CAP. WHAT TO DO WHEN THE SON OF MAN IS WEARING SNEAKERS AND A BACKWARDS BASEBALL CAP?

WHEN LITTLE JESUS ASKS YOU FOR A QUARTER YOU FIND YOU ARE NOT SURE HOW MUCH CHANGE YOU HAVE ON HAND. YOU REALIZE YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO GIVE MONEY AT THE STORE SO THAT YOU WILL RECEIVE BACK CERTAIN MONIES IN CHANGE. AND SO NOW YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY CHANGE ON HAND. WHAT TO DO WHEN LITTLE JESUS ASKS FOR CHANGE BUT YOU DO NOT HAVE ANY CHANGE ON HAND?

THEN YOU ASK LITTLE JESUS FOR HELP. HELP ME MAKE CHANGE AT THE STORES WHEN I GO TO THEM, LITTLE JESUS. HELP ME TO DO SO, LITTLE JESUS. AMEN. AND YOU PRAY THIS PRAYER BECAUSE ANY TIME YOU TALK TO LITTLE JESUS IT MUST BE IN PRAYER.

SO LITTLE JESUS THINKS FOR A WHILE AND PRAYS BACK TO YOU:

OKAY, HE SAYS. I WILL HELP YOU.

A BLUE TARP WITH STRING AND STAKES IN THE GROUND AND THEN LOOK, LITTLE JESUS IS CAMPING OUT ON YOUR LAWN. LITTLE JESUS MAKES A FIRE AND ROASTS A PIG. SHOUTS FOR EVERYONE TO JOIN HIM. LITTLE JESUS GOES AROUND NEIGHBORHOOD. PERFORMS LITTLE MIRACLES FOR CHANGE THROUGHOUT NEIGHBORHOOD.

I. LITTLE JESUS WALKS ON WATER SKIS.
II. LITTLE JESUS TURNS WATER INTO BRINE.
III. LITTLE JESUS FEELS A LEPER.

AND LOOK, NEIGHBORHOOD SAYS OKAY. NEIGHBORHOOD CURLS LITTLE JESUS UP IN ARMS AND GIVES LITTLE JESUS A BOUNTY OF CHANGE. AND SO LITTLE JESUS AND NEIGHBORHOOD EAT ROASTED PIG ALL DAY AND COUNT OUT ALL OF THE CHANGE.

AND WHAT TO DO? WHAT TO DO WHEN LITTLE JESUS PRAYS THAT HE WILL HELP YOU MAKE CHANGE AT THE STORES BUT INSTEAD CAMPS OUT ON YOUR LAWN AND NEIGHBORHOOD GIVES HIM CHANGE. HOW HAS THIS BECOME THE WAY THAT IT HAS NOW BECOME? SO YOU TO GO FIND LITTLE JESUS AND THEN HE IS WITH NEIGHBORHOOD AT HIS TENT AROUND A CAMPFIRE MAKING FOOD.,MAKING ROASTED PIG AND LITTLE JESUS IS CHEWING AND YOU KNEEL SO YOU PRAY:

LITTLE JESUS, YOU PRAY, WHY DID YOU ASK ME FOR A QUARTER WHEN YOU KNEW YOU COULD RECEIVE IT ALL FROM NEIGHBORHOOD? WHY HAVE I PRAYED TO YOU TO TEACH ME AND THEN WHY DID YOU SAY THAT YOU WOULD TEACH AND THEN YOU DIDN'T? WHY, LITTLE JESUS? WHY?

AND LITTLE JESUS LOOKS AT YOU FOR A LONG WHILE. HE LOOKS AT YOU AND HE LOOKS AT YOUR FACE. AND HE STARTS TO SHAKE HIS HEAD. OH NO, LITTLE JESUS IS REALLY SHAKING HIS HEAD. AND NOW HE IS CRYING. OH MAN HE IS REALLY CRYING NOW. NEIGHBORHOOD HAS NOT NOTICED YET. NEIGHBORHOOD IS STILL EATING ROASTED PIG.

AND SO YOU PRAY, I AM SORRY LITTLE JESUS. I WILL NOT HURT YOU ANY LONGER. PLEASE, I AM SORRY. PLEASE DO NOT CRY. FORGIVE ME BECAUSE I KNEW NOT WHAT I DID AND SO I WON'T DO IT AGAIN, IS THAT OKAY LITTLE JESUS? I WON'T, I PROMISE.

BUT LITTLE JESUS STAMPS HIS FEET AND CRIES LOUDER. AND NEIGHBORHOOD STOPS EATING ROASTED PIG. NEIGHBORHOOD WIPES MOUTH AND STANDS UP AND LOOKS. LITTLE JESUS IS SHAKING AND NOW LOOK! HE THROWS HIS LITTLE HAT DOWN AND HE STOMPS ON IT TOO. AND LITTLE JESUS CHEWS ANGRY-LIKE. HE CHEWS AND HIS LITTLE EYES ARE NOW VERY BIG. AND HE POINTS HIS ROAST PIG LEG AT YOU AND HE SHAKES IT. LITTLE JESUS SHAKES THE ROAST PIG LEG AND HE PRAYS BACK TO YOU:
