Week Eleven of my Short Story Challenge

 The Kid who Cared            By: Everly



A kid sat in her house. Her name was Ever. She had just driven home from church.

On her way home, she had seen a man. He was holding a sign that said ‘Please help. I have no home.’

Ever nearly cried at the sight. She wanted to help, but didn’t know how she could. 

The next day, Ever felt she was being led by God to do something. And God gave her an idea.

She made boxes with Bibles, blankets, heart-felt notes, and other things to make the homeless’ lives better.

She walked out her front door and headed outside. After a while of walking, Ever found a tent on the sidewalk. 

She knocked on the door. “Hello?”

A face peeked out. It was a man, his clothes were torn and dirty. It was raining and he had no blankets. He didn’t have a jacket, and his skin was pale. Ever looked him in the eyes and said, “I give this box to you. It is not a gift from me, but from God. He loves you.”

The man looked Ever in her eyes, and said, “You have been so kind to me. But, who is God?”

Ever handed him the Bible that was in the box. This is God. He has helped many people, and now, he has helped you. He has cared for you since the beginning.”

The man started reading the Bible, with wonder in his eyes.

Ever left after saying good luck to the man. 

She did this with many other people. And when she got home, she cried.

“Thank you God! You have blessed all those people. And I am so happy to have been a part of it! Thank you.” She exclaimed.

Only a few days ago, Ever had thought it was impossible to help them as a kid. But now she had learned, that with God ALL things are possible. And remember, Jesus loves you.
