The Unusual Pet
Joe finally moved out of his parent\u2019s house and got an apartment for himself.\xa0He figured with being thirty now; it was about time to make the leap. His parent readily agreed with him.\xa0At first, Joe was ok, but after a few days, he was not only missing his mom\u2019s cooking, but he found that it was quite lonely living by himself.\xa0\xa0He was sitting by himself one evening after work thinking about how lonely he was, so Joe decided that he needed to accept more responsibility in his life and figured it would be more fun if he had a pet.\xa0The next day was Saturday, so in the morning, Joe went to the pet store and told Bob, the owner, that he wanted to buy an unusual pet.
After some discussion with Bob, Joe decided on a foot-long centipede, which came in a little white box to use for its house. Joe decided that he would name his new pet \u2018Millie.\u2019\xa0Joe took Millie home, found a good location for the box home, and then decided he would start off his new friendship by taking Millie to a restaurant to have dinner.
He peered in the window of the box at Millie and said, \u201cWould you like to go to McDonald\u2019s with me to have dinner?\u201d\xa0There was no answer from Millie, and this bothered Joe a bit.\xa0He waited a few minutes and then asked Millie again, \u201cHow about going to McDonald\u2019s with me?\u201d But again, there was no answer from his new friend Millie.
Joe was getting impatient and frustrated with the lack of response.\xa0Joe waited a few minutes more, thinking about the situation. He decided to ask him one more time.\xa0This time, putting his face up against the window of Millie\u2019s house, Joe shouted, \u201cHey, in there! Would you like to go to McDonald\u2019s with me to have dinner?\u201d

A little voice came out of the box: \u201cHey Joe, hang loose, I heard you the first time! I\u2019m putting on my shoes!!\u201d

I hope that brought a smile to your face today.\xa0If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day.\xa0Our Thursday thought is, \u201cWhat goes click ninety-nine times and clack once? A\xa0centipede\xa0with a clubfoot.\u201d


Here is our verse for today:
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Genesis%201%3A28&version=NLT)
Then God blessed them and said, \u201cBe fruitful and multiply. Fill the earth and govern it. Reign over the fish in the sea, the birds in the sky, and all the animals that\xa0scurry\xa0along the ground.\u201d
