A New Calf
Little six-year-old Danny was so excited that he was going to the farm to spend the weekend with his granddad, who he called PaPa.\xa0He loved being with PaPa and really loved being at the farm so he could be PaPa\u2019s big helper.\xa0PaPa and Danny worked at completing their chores as they invested all day together on Saturday.\xa0As usual, when Danny visited PaPa, they were up bright and early on Sunday morning to milk the ten milk cows before heading off to church.\xa0As PaPa was milking the cows, Danny wandered through the barn as he so loved to do. He came across one cow in a pen all by itself, and she looked enormous.\xa0Danny said, hey PaPa, what is this one cow doing all by itself, and why it is so fat.\xa0PaPa chuckled a bit and said, that\u2019s old daisy; she is due any day now.\xa0Danny wasn\u2019t sure what that all meant, but he was really concerned that Daisy wasn\u2019t doing very well.\xa0They headed off to church, but it was hard for Danny to sit still as he kept thinking of poor old Daisy.
When they arrive back at the farm after church, Danny jumped out of the truck and headed to the barn.\xa0He soon came running back out with wide eyes and shouted, hey PaPa, it looks like Daisy is not doing well; she is lying down and keeps mooing. PaPa said, well, let\u2019s get out of our Sunday go-to-meeting clothes and put on our work close, then we can check on Daisy.\xa0When they finally got back to the barn, PaPa could see that indeed, Daisy was having trouble calving. He didn\u2019t know how little Danny would take in the whole process, but had no option but to get on with the job of assisting the birth.
PaPa got in the pen with Daisy and proceeded to stick his hand and arm in to assist as he pulled the calf free from the birth canal. Danny stood there, watching with eye ready to pop out of his head. Soon Daisy was happily cleaning it up.\xa0PaPa turned to Danny and said, well, \u201cDanny, do you have any questions about what you just saw?\u201d
At first, Danny was speechless and seemed overwhelmed by the experience, but finally asked, \u201cJust how fast was that calf going when it hit the Daisy\u2019s behind?\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, As a calf follows its mother among a thousand cows, so the good or bad deeds of a man follow him.\u201d
Here is our verse for today:
(https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah%2011%3A6&version=NLT)
In that day, the wolf and the lamb will live together; the leopard will\xa0lie\xa0down\xa0with the baby goat. The\xa0calf\xa0and the yearling will be safe with the lion, and a little child will lead them all.
