A Tale of Two Lady Bugs

Once upon a time there were two ladybugs. One’s name was Hilga and the other’s name was Helga. Hilga and Helga took turns swinging on a swing! Hilga pushed Helga so high on the swing that she pushed her all the way up to the third heaven and she fell upon Jesus’s lap on his throne. Jesus picked up the dear child and had to send her back down, so he called for a chariot to escort her back down to the swing set. Once they arrived, Hilga asked Helga, “Where in the world have you been?” Helga answered, “You pushed me so high on the swing that you sent me to heaven!” Hilga replied, “Why in the bloomin’ world did you come back down here?” Helga said, “Now it’s your turn to sit on the lap of Jesus and get a free chariot escort!” So Hilga and Helga for the remainder of the afternoon took turns entertaining themselves and entertaining the angels. It was a day filled with complete bliss! It was also a day that Jesus and the angels enjoyed as well. What is the moral to this story, you ask? Be filled with childlike joy. Yes, let the joy of the Lord be your strength and let the light of your heavenly Father illuminate your eyes and your heart. Remember this cute little lady bug story and how much fun it is to play and entertain Jesus and his angels! Psalm 28:7 The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart. He helps me, and my heart is filled with joy. I burst out in songs of thanksgiving. Written by Gwendolen Rix Inspired by the Holy Spirit 5-19-14
