Hello boys and girls This is Aunt Frenita and I have a wonderful story for you
Called "Wake Up, Little Girl"
Today's memory verse is from 3 John, verse 2.
It says, "I pray that you may enjoy good health."
The message for today's story is: We serve God when we pray for the sick
Jairus was an important man.
He had an important job at the synagogue.
But that didn’t matter, and it really didn’t help.
His daughter was sick, and nothing anyone could do was making her well.
But Jairus knew there was one person who could help.
He had heard about the miracles Jesus could do.
He had heard that Jesus could make people well.
So Jairus went to find Jesus.
Jairus found Jesus with a crowd of people at Levi Matthew’s house
He pushed his way to where Jesus was and fell down at Jesus’ feet.
“My little daughter is dying,” Jairus cried.
“Please, Jesus, come and put Your hands on her so she will be healed and live.”
But before they got there, a man came running toward them through the crowd.
“Don’t bother Jesus anymore,” the man said to Jairus.
"I'm so sorry"
"but your daughter died a few minutes ago."
But Jesus didn’t pay any attention.
“Don’t be afraid,” He said to Jairus.
“I can make her better.”
When they reached the house, people were crying and wailing loudly.
Jesus sent them all outside.
Only Jairus and his wife and three of Jesus’ helpers were allowed to go into the house with Jesus.
The little girl was lying on her bed
Her eyes were closed. She was very, very still.
Jesus took her by the hand and said, “Little girl,"
"Listen to me"
"Get up."
All of a sudden the little girl started to breathe! Her eyes opened.
She sat up and smiled.
Jesus smiled too.
Then He turned to the girl’s mother and said,
“Please give her something to eat.”
Jairus and his wife were so happy!
Jesus had listened to Jairus’ cry for help.
He had come, even though everyone said it was too late.
And now their little girl was alive again.
They were so glad they had asked Jesus for help.
They were so happy that He had listened.
They were thrilled to have their little girl alive and well again.
Jesus loved that little girl.
And he loved her mommy and daddy too
He was happy to listen to them.
And you know what, boys and girls? Jesus loves you too!
He always listens to you when you talk to Him in prayer.
