Introduction: A Young Boy Desperately Wanted A ...

Introduction: A young boy desperately wanted a bicycle for Christmas, so he asked his parents for the bike; His parents wanted to teach him the importance of prayer, so they suggested the young boy should write a letter to Jesus and pray for one instead."

Not pleased with the response of his parents, he immediately threw a temper tantrum and his parents sent him to his room.

Once he was in his room he decided to take his parents advice and write a letter to Jesus.

Dear Jesus,

I’ve been a good boy this year and would love a new bicycle. Can you see if I can have a new Bicycle?

Your Friend,

Johnny

Now Johnny knew that Jesus really knew what kind of boy he had been that year, so he ripped up the letter and decided to give it another try.

Dear Jesus,

I’ve been an OK boy this year and I want a new bicycle.

Yours truly,

Johnny

Well, Johnny knew this wasn’t totally honest so he tore it up and tried again.

Dear Jesus,

I’ve thought about being a good boy this year and can I have a bicycle?

Johnny

Then Johnny looked deep down in his heart, which by the way was what his parents really wanted. He knew he had been bad boy and hoped he would receive something simply because Jesus loved him. He then crumpled up the letter, threw it in the trash can and went downstairs, where his mother had a Nativity set on the fire place mantle. He then took the statue of Mary wrapped it in a blanket and hid it under his bed.

Then he wrote this letter.

Dear Jesus,

If you ever want to see your mother again – give me a bicycle.

We have to admit some people will try anything to get what they want for Christmas!
