He Died for Us

All of the chicks were playing around outside on Easter Sunday. 
They were tired after the long church service, although one of the people in church passed out bags of candy. Granny called the kids inside for a snack. Annabelle said, "Granny, can you read us the story of Easter?" "Well," said Granny. "I suppose I could. Benny, could you be a big boy and carry the book over to my chair?" Benny pumped  up his muscles (which you couldn't see) and picked up the book with a mighty face. He walked around with it a little while, and then he fell down on his beak. Everyone except Granny laughed at the poor little cockerel. Granny picked him and the book up, and sat the chick in the circle around her chair. She turned to page 693. She read, "One dreadful day, God's Son, Jesus was captured and taken to prison. Jesus had not done anything wrong. In fact, he was preaching! A man named Judas asked the judge to drop the charges against Him, but the judge wouldn't. Every one who believed in God were very very very horrified at the news that Jesus was to be hung on a cross. One awful day, a day that the sun wouldn't shine, the soldiers nailed him to the cross. God's people cried all day and all night. The soldiers mocked him by saying, 'If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross!' One of the men on a cross beside him wanted to believe in Him. He received the Lord and he went to Heaven with Jesus. But the other man was left on the cross, because he didn't want to believe. And Jesus promised that he would come back for us and take us to Heaven with Him. The end."   Everyone remembered that story, and they were glad that Jesus would come back for them.

Frosty the Snowman Peeps come from the nursery everyday. But today, the chicks just sit around and listen to stories and work on their lessons. "Granny, I found an old hat in the street today, and I want to use it to build a snowman!" said Rosie. "Not  today, my dear. It is much to cold. But I know a story about a snowman! " said Granny. "Tell us!" the chicks peeped. "Okay. Let me see here. Aha! Here it is! It's called, 'Frosty the Snowman.'  One day, in Magic Village, some young raccoons wanted something to eat. They found a carrot each. The young raccoons decided to make snowmen. One snowman they put a good spell on. The spell was for him to come to life! He came to life, just as they wished! When the snow started to melt, he ran around, making it snow again. The raccoons called him, 'Frosty.' He liked that name very much. Then some mean weasels started throwing things at him. The raccoons threw snowballs at them, and the ran ...

Get to meet the Citizens Here in Chicken Town we have allot of important people. Drake, Jemima and Rebbecca are the actors of the Old Grimy Water Circus. Just in case you didn't know, they are ducks. Not chickens. Betty runs the salon that is in front the tractor door in Chicken Town. First you will see the Chicken Hotel that is a big white building that the citizens sleep in at night. It is perfectly safe when Fifi and Speckles are here to the rescue. Their former names are Pussnboots and Blackshadow. If you didn't know, the circus is south of the hotel. Then slimy and dirty is the Chicken Cafe. This is where they chill and wait for the Charity Food people to come by. Then if you go west and turn to the north, you are very likely to find the Chicken Supermarket. Then go south and you will find the Morning to My Babe Restaurant that is very much like Apple Bee's. Then go west again and you will find the Chicken Town Police Office. You will find Baxter Futter. He...

Never to be Found Our friend, Rebecca Puddle Duck has not returned yet. Not a sign, a sound, nor a little path. We are all trying to accept the truth. She is gone. She must be dead, but still she has no grave. Drake is deeply worried about her. "I remember she would always interrupt family discussions with her somewhat adorable little squeak." The little chicks attend to their letters and sounds. Greta, a dear friend of Rebecca's wrote on her  paper, " c a t d o g d u c k" Her book wanted her to write "Robby, Mike, & Me." Instead, she wrote, " R e b e c c a P u d d l e  D u c k"  The teacher glanced over her shoulder. Greta started erasing it right away. Everybody in town is very very very very very sad. Something is wrong in Chicken Town. New Citizens On a beautiful Monday evening, Sally was coming to egg-sit for Frieda, the Norwegian chicken. She was standing beside her, smiling in her usual way. She began to speak, b...
