The Teddy Bear: Flash Fiction



"It must be nice to be so loved." Ava stroked the cute bear Hunter had given me on Valentine's Day.
I smiled gently. "It is."
Instead of putting the bear back, Ava hugged it close. "I've often wondered what it feels like to be cherished."
I heard the tremor in her voice, then, praying for wisdom, I touched her hand. "Do you remember how Mom would make us our favourite cake and meal each birthday? And how she'd somehow find the exact present we wanted?"
Ava smiled. "Yes. She made me feel so loved. Somehow, I could feel Jesus' love for me in her smile; her actions."
I sat beside her and cut us each a generous slice of chocolate cake. Mom's recipe.
Sunlight bathed my kitchen in sweet memories and Jesus' love.
"Happy birthday dear Ava, happy birthday to you!"

Dearest Reader,

Do you long for love? For a deep, abiding love?
Well, that's the kind of love that Jesus our Saviour has for you. He died on the cross, taking our sin upon Himself, so that we wouldn't have to face judgment. If you repent and call on Him to save you, He will answer your prayer, and He will come live in your heart. You will never feel unloved again.

Please start reading the Bible at the Book of John. The Bible is freely available on The Bible App.

Love and prayers,

Alison.

The Conversation. A Free Short Story

  The Conversation  Gavin was so absorbed in his book, that he barely noticed that the train had stopped at a station. "Mind if I sit here?" He looked up. A young woman with friendly freckles across her nose and wide brown eyes stood in the aisle. He nodded, then smiled faintly and she quickly stowed her large backpack. "I'm Sybil." The young woman offered. "Thanks." "No problem. Travelling to Barton?"  "Nope. It's Dunmore I'm headed for. You?" "Same." Gavin was cautious. He wasn't sure he felt like a chatty companion. He'd been looking forward to finishing his book. It had hooked him from the first chapter. But thankfully, Sybil didn't bubble on. She just smiled before taking her own book out.  Gavin went back to his reading, not without noticing that it was a Bible that Sybil had opened. Unusual.   Sybil glanced towards him. She liked to study people, and would often strike up a conversation in the ho...

Not Much Time. Free Short Story.

  Years have gone by, yet the phone call still plays clear as a bell in my mind. "He needs to come home. Please tell him. There isn't much time." The thin, frail voice of the caller lent weight to the urgency of her call. No, there couldn't have been much time. "Daddy, a lady called. An old lady. She said there isn't much time." I tiptoed up to his armchair. I spoke softly, hesitantly. I was only a child, and I knew nothing of his past. "She says, she says, you must go home." "No!" The armchair shook with the force of his rage. "No! And don't talk to that woman again."  No further calls came from the frail-voiced lady. At least, not that I know of. *** Daddy was nearing the end. The end of a long, long battle. I was in my forties, married, and with children of my own. "Who was she Daddy?" I asked gently, hoping with God's help to bring him to a place of peace and forgiveness. But his face tightened and he t...
