table in the school cafeteria eating lunch) |

|
| Julie |
So! Did everyone get what they wanted for Christmas? |
| |
|
| Sam |
Yeah, did we all make a haul? |
| |
|
| Frank |
My Grandparents really love to spoil me! It's great! |
| |
|
| Mary |
This was the best Christmas I ever had. It was so good! |
| |
|
| Frank |
Okay, so who'll go first, let's hear about all those newly acquired
treasures! |
| |
|
| Julie |
Well, I sure didn't get everything I wanted for Christmas. My
Grandma gave me an old,
wooden, hand me down, chest. She said it was a Hope Chest. Yeah
right, the only hope
I had was that there would be something better inside. There wasn't!
|
| |
|
| Sam |
Hmmm, I can relate, this year I got a lot of clothes and only
a couple toys. My parents
thought I'd be more interested in clothes at "My Age."
Worst yet my Uncle Jim gave me a
savings bond. (sigh) What a waste... |
| |
|
| Frank |
(Laugh) Well like I said my Grandparents really love to spoil
me! They got me the new
Video game system. Only bad thing is there are only a couple games
out for it right now,
which of course I got. but I'm already bored with it. I hope they
make some new games
soon. |
| |
|
| Julie |
Come on Mary tell us what you got, you must have made a haul.
You said it was your best Christmas ever! |
| |
|
| Mary |
I didn't get that many presents, but I did get one really special
gift. |
| |
|
| Sam, Julie, and Frank |
Ooooh cool, what was it? |
| |
|
| Mary |
(Big Smile) A Bible! |
| |
|
| Frank |
A Bible? How can that be a cool gift! |
| |
|
| Mary |
The Bible my mom and dad gave me is a newly acquired treasure.
In fact it's a gift that
keeps on giving. The Bible is the best, it showed me how I can have
a real relationship
with God, how much God's Son Jesus loves us and how we can get to
Heaven. It's like a
hope chest filled with love, joy, peace and wisdom. The stories
are real and so exciting,
you'll never get tired of reading them. |
| |
|
| Julie |
Wow, I never knew the Bible had all that stuff in it! |
| |
|
| Frank |
The Bible sounds more like a Treasure Chest than a Hope Chest. |
| |
|
| Sam |
Hmm, My birthday is coming up soon. I think I'll ask for a Bible. |
| |
|
| Mary |
In the mean time I'd be happy to share my Bible with all of you. |
| |
|
| (Julie, Frank and Sam crowd around Mary and they
all begin looking at the Bible) |
