Do ya’ll know what these are? They are PIGS!  At least I think that’s what Mom said.  I’m not really sure; I wasn’t paying attention because I was chasing the cats.

But let me tell you – they are GREAT. Mom’s been picking them so she can make “pig” preserves, or something. Anyway, when she finds one that the birds have pecked, she lets me eat it. She got this bowlful this morning while we were outside; I really wanted to try some more but she wouldn’t let me have any.

Did you know that Jesus talked about “pigs”?

“And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also, when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near.” Luke 21:29-31

Of all the trees, Jesus used a “pig” tree to remind us that we need to be watching for Him to come back. I’m ready for Him – are you? If you’re not, my mom and dad would be glad to talk to you and help you learn what it takes to be ready.
