“Dad! Dad!”
James shouted.
“There’s a fire in the
prairie out back,
and the wind is
blowing it toward
the henhouse and
the barn!”
“Yes, I saw it,
too!” his father
replied as he ran
toward the pond
with several empty
buckets. “I called
the neighbors to
help. We’ll put it out
before it goes any
further.”
The fire was
getting closer
to the fence
surrounding the
property that
belonged to
James’ family.
The wind was also
blowing sparks
toward their house.
The Little Red Hen
Outside the henhouse a brood of chicks huddled around the
mother hen.
“Mommy, I’m scared!” cried one of the chicks.
“It’s getting really hot, and the smoke is stinging my eyes,” said
another chick.
The mother hen knew she shouldn’t show fear, but the flames
were getting closer and closer. She didn’t see how her little family
would survive.
“Come closer, my dears,” she instructed, “and don’t worry.
Come sit close to me under my wings, and I’ll protect you from
the hot flames.”
“Thank you, Mommy,” peeped the chicks. “We feel so safe
under your wings.”
“There!” James’ father finally exclaimed as he mopped his brow with a damp cloth. “We put it out. Thank God!”
“I wonder what that is over there,” James said as he walked over to a smoking pile nearby. He turned it over with his foot.
“Oh, my!” James exclaimed as six little chicks hurried out from under the smoking pile. “It’s our red hen! She gave her life so that her chicks
could be saved!” Tears formed in James’ eyes as he looked down at the red hen.
“Yes,” said his father. “She gave her life to save her chicks, just like Jesus gave His life to save us. He suffered a cruel death on the cross so that
we could be saved.”
Father put his arm around James. “And now any boy or girl, man or woman, who accepts Jesus into their life can experience God’s great
love for them. Because Jesus died for our sins, we will never need to.”
“Dear Jesus,” James prayed, “thank You for showing us how much You loved us through this example of the dear red hen who laid down her
life for her chicks, just like You did for us so many years ago. Thank You for loving us so much.”
