Mine Twice Over

Childs Boat This is the story about Jimmy and his boat called Mine Twice Over. There was once a little boy named Jimmy who decided one day to take his pocket money, buy some wood, cloth string and paint and make himself a fine model sailing ship. At last it was finished. Jimmy was ever so proud. He had made it all himself!

He took it to school and showed it to his teacher, Mr. Jones. "What a lovely boat!" said Mr. Jones. "We will show it to the Principal." "What a lovely sailing ship!" said the Principal, "I'd like to show it to the whole school!" The whole school said, "What a lovely boat!" and the Principal placed it on the display table for all to see. When the afternoon bell rang Jimmy raced into the assembly hall to get his boat. To his horror, he found that it was gone. Someone had stolen it! He thought he would never see his model again.

Delivery of Gift Boxes Months and months passed by, then one day Jimmy was walking past a model shop in town. He could hardly believe his eyes, for there in the centre of the window was the boat he had made. He rushed in excitedly to the shopkeeper. "That's my boat in your window, can I have it back?" "I am sorry," said the man, "But I had to buy it and so must you!" Jimmy was very sad at first, then he decided to do it! So off he went delivering parcels and gifts all over the town.

Jesus Hanging on the Cross Up and down, day after day he worked until finally he had earned enough wages to buy back his boat. How happy he was! You and I are a little like Jimmy's boat. God made us, the Creator made us all. He also paid the price for our sins when he sent Jesus to die on the cross. God made us and Jesus died for us! God can say to us, "you are mine twice over!"
