The First Ride
It was the day after Christmas. The pastor of a church was looking
over their Nativity scene when he noticed the baby Jesus was
missing from among the figures.
Immediately he turned and went outside and saw a little boy with
a red wagon, and in the wagon was the figure of the little infant,
Jesus.
So he walked up to the boy and said, "Well, where did you get Him,
my fine friend?"
The little boy replied, "I got him from the church."
"And why did you take him?"
The boy said, "Well, about a week before Christmas, I prayed to
the little Lord Jesus and I told him if he would bring me a red
wagon for Christmas, I would give him the first ride in it."
(Aaaah...the innocence and faith of a child!)
