What Kenny learned from the polka-dot story

Sandra L. LeCompte Scott

Kenny was very happy. The whole family was going to Grandma and Grandpa's for a Christmas get-together. He would get to play with his cousins and see his aunts and uncles. He always looked forward to these visits.

When they arrived at his grandparents' house, he ran off to play with his favorite toys and visit with his grandparents. He knew that everyone else was to arrive the next day to exchange presents. Before he got into bed that night, he made sure Grandma was going to fix his favorite breakfast. Kenny couldn't wait for the morning!

That night, though, Kenny woke up feeling awful. Everything seemed to hurt, and all he wanted was to be at home in his own bed. He went to Mom and told her how awful he felt. She immediately settled him down in her bed and was quiet. Kenny knew that when Mom got very quiet she was praying. Kenny's family had always relied on God whenever there seemed to be any kind of illness. And there had been many wonderful healings through prayer.
