E is for Exercise

So are you ready to get fit?

Do you have the time to commit?

Exercise is easy, it can be done.

It's a work out and it's really fun.

If you stumble now and then,

Just get back up and start again.

Choose one exercise that suits you,

There is so much that you can do.

Aerobics, ballet and dance too,

Even a treadmill, to name a few.

Go for a jog or get on a bike,

Play some tennis or go on a hike.

You don't have to run a race,

You can go at your own pace.

Stretch a little bit, followed by a swim,

You can use weights to stay trim.

Head to the gym and kick up your feet,

You can do it with rhythm and beat.

They tell you, it's healthy and fun,

Whether you walk or you run.

You can exercise an hour each day,

Bring along a friend and start today.

No more excuses, it's time to commit,

Set yourself a goal and just do it.

Lost & Found

Joey was on his way to class when he

accidentally dropped his ten dollar bill.

Mr. Z, the teacher picked up the ten dollars and

 placed it on the desk at the lost and found room.

Billy walked in and spotted the ten dollars.

He grabbed the money and handed the ten
dollars to Randy in exchange for his comic book.

Randy trekked over to Marty's house and handed

his friend ten dollars for the latest comic book.

Marty made his way to Jill's house and 

handed her the ten dollars to pay off his debt.

Jill headed over to the neighbors house and handed the

gentleman ten dollars in exchange for a bucket of apples.

The neighbor took a trip to Billy's house and handed

the young boy ten dollars for picking the apples.
Billy raced back to the lost and found room

and placed the ten dollars back on the desk.

Joey headed over to the lost and found room, 

where he discovered his missing ten dollar bill.

IS IT POSSIBLE,
 ALL TRANSACTIONS ARE LEGIT?

THINK ABOUT IT. 

THE FIRST CHRISTMAS

The word came true when the time was right.

When the shepherds saw the beautiful sight.

It's our Savior Jesus who was born,

He came from heaven in the early morn.

It was that night when salvation had begun,

When God had sent his beloved Son.

He came down to save us from our sin,

We could surely see God's love within.

He took our place for our sake,

So that our bondage of sin would break.

So every Christmas, we recall that day,

We proclaim it's Jesus birthday. 

Which Book?

Buddy picked up six books from the library.

He placed the books on his desk.

He sat down and pondered which book to read first.

Suddenly the first book popped up and stepped forward.

"Pick me!" cried Book one.

"Look inside, it's full of adventure."

Buddy heard another voice.

He looked up and noticed Book two staring at him.

"Don't listen to him," Book two replied.

"My book is funny, you'll laugh out loud."

The third book stood up and came forward.

"Read me!" book three said. "My book is about dinosaurs."

Book four edged forward.

"My book is better," book four proclaimed.

"You can learn about your favorite animals."

The fifth book came up and hollered, "Wait!"

"Examine mine," book five exclaimed,

"It's about your favorite hero."

The sixth book took his turn.

"Don't forget me," book six replied.

"This book is written by your favorite author."

WHICH BOOK SHALL BUDDY CHOOSE?

Which book would you choose?

Go to the Library!

It's awesome, spectacular, you'll love this place,

It's remarkable, it's astonishing, it's a huge place.

It's magnificent, it's sensational, it's beyond compare,

It's so amazing, I got to tell you where.

It's not a bookstore that you need to go,

But a place you'll find all you need to know.

I can hear you now, what's all this fuss,

But I found a place that's great for all of us.

When you walk in, I know you'll agree,

With so many books, you can quickly see,

No matter what you choose, it's going to be fun,

So go to the library and pick up more than one.

Danny's Only Wish

Buddy peered through the doorway inside a hospital.

He noticed his friend, Danny weeping beside his bed.

Buddy sat next to him and tried to cheer him up.

"I am afraid," Danny exclaimed, "I have surgery tomorrow."

Buddy grabbed his friend's hand and assured him everything would be fine.

Buddy handed Danny a get well greeting card. 

Danny noticed his whole class signed the card.

Before Danny could react, Buddy handed him a gift.

Two tickets to a basketball game next week.

Danny's face turned sour.

He explained to Buddy his surgery will prevent him

from attending the game.

"No, no," Buddy answered, "you're going to be fine."

Danny reached for a sheet of paper on top of the dresser.

He handed it to Buddy.

"Please show this," Danny pleaded, "to the whole class."

Buddy studied the sheet for a moment and noticed

Danny wrote a little poem.

"I have only one wish," Danny proclaimed, "that you pray for me."

Buddy reached over and gave Danny a big hug.

Buddy assured his friend, the whole class will pray for him.

Danny's little poem.

He prayed in the morning, he prayed in the night,

He wanted his God, to help him win this fight.

The pain was unbearable and the future seemed gone.

But somehow he knew, God would help him along.

             One week later, the school bell rang.

All the kids dispersed into their classrooms.

Room 112 was quiet.

Buddy and the rest of the class sat and waited.

The teacher stood nearby staring at the clock.

Moments later, the classroom door opened and

Danny walked slowly inside.

The whole class stood up and clapped their hands.

A banner hung overhead with the message,

WELCOME BACK, DANNY!

Danny stood in front of the class and tried to hold back the tears.

He scanned the whole room and proudly thanked the class for praying.
