Many years ago in a little town… I wonder why that kid is crying? Maybe

he didn't want to walk down here with an offering.

Page 3: That's My Cow in There!

Why are you crying?

Page 4: That's My Cow in There!

That’s my cow in

there!

Page 5: That's My Cow in There!

Your what?

Page 6: That's My Cow in There!

I always wanted a cow of my own, but we lived in

the city …

… and you aren’t allowed to keep a cow

in your backyard.

Understandably.

Page 7: That's My Cow in There!

But nine months ago, we moved to the countryside. And my Dad told me I could have

a cow now, but I would have to pay for it.

Page 8: That's My Cow in There!

I’ve been running errands to save money. I picked up a paper route. I get up at four in the morning and deliver

newspapers. I’ve been able to save five dollars!

Page 9: That's My Cow in There!

Why are you putting the money

you’ve saved for the cow into the offering?

Page 10: That's My Cow in There!

I heard God's voice. He

said if I would give Him the money I had saved for a cow, He

would give me the cow.

Page 11: That's My Cow in There!

Then dry up those tears! You’re

getting the best end of the deal!

Page 12: That's My Cow in There!

This boy has just given to God the money he was saving

to buy a cow. …

Pastor, God just spoke

to me.

Page 13: That's My Cow in There!

What did God tell

you?He told me to

give that boy a cow. I own a ranch and have

thousands of them.

Page 14: That's My Cow in There!

The cattle on a thousand

hills belong to God!* And He knows how

to speak to somebody to turn one of them loose.

(*Psalm 50:10)
