Once upon a time, there was a great big farm full of wonderful fruits and vegetables. There were huge trees loaded with red apples. There were bushes with giant, juicy berries. There was crisp, green lettuce and humongous orange carrots. On the farm, lived a brother and his two sisters. The two sisters had similar names so to make it easy everyone called them Little M and Big M. Their brother was called Laz. Life was on the farm was like paradise until one day they got invaded by a bunch of huge monster robots who zoomed all over the place and clobbered anyone who got in their way. They were kind of like transformers, and they were awful. They destroyed everything.
One day when Laz was out picking carrots, one of the big robots came along and clobbered him as if it were nothing. Laz just laid there. Little M and Big M were afraid. They didn’t know what to do so they called up their friend J-Diggity. They believed J-Diggity could take care of anything, but unfortunately J-Diggity lived a long ways away, and he couldn’t come as soon as they hoped. By the time he came, they thought it was too late for him to do anything for Laz, but J-Diggity walked over to Laz and spoke to him saying, “Laz, Laz, Get up!” and almost like magic Laz slowly but surely got up. As soon as he realized where he was, he was all excited that he was alive and that he had a chance to live again. From that day on, he lived like he never lived before. He was so glad to be alive that he began to do whatever he could to help others to live and have happy lives. He shared his fruits and vegetables with them. He helped protect others from the evil robot monsters. He was inspired to live, and he owed it all to his friend J-Diggity.
As Christians, we often get inspired to live life differently when we realize what a great friend we have in Jesus and how Jesus set an example for us to help other people. Each of you can get excited and live life like Laz. By the way, did you know that Laz and his friends once lived around here? Vancouver used to be filled with farms, but Laz and his friends weren’t humans. Did you think they were humans? Laz and his friends were actually rabbits, and what they thought were big robot monsters were really just humans driving around in cars. So the next time, you see a rabbit, wave at it because who knows, J-Diggity might still be alive.
