    The Sacrifice of Winnie the Pooh's Honey

    Once upon a time in the Hundred Acre Wood, there lived a lovable bear named Winnie the Pooh. Winnie's days were filled with adventures, laughter, and, of course, honey. He cherished his honey pots and would often spend his time indulging in the sweet golden nectar.

    One day, while Winnie was enjoying a quiet afternoon by the river, a gentle voice echoed through the trees. It was the voice of the wise Owl, who had a special message for Winnie. Owl shared a story from the Bible, parallel to the story of Abraham being told to sacrifice Isaac in obedience to God.

    "Winnie," Owl said, "just as Abraham was tested and asked to sacrifice his son Isaac in obedience to God, you are being called to share your honey with those in need in the Hundred Acre Wood." " There is a famine approaching and we all need to share what we have and you sharing your honey which you hold dear will be a example for others to share too and in that way we all by the grace of God can make it through this famine "

    Winnie's eyes widened, and his heart felt heavy at the thought of parting with his beloved honey. But he trusted Owl's wisdom and knew that there must be a greater purpose behind this request . So, with a heavy heart, Winnie made a solemn promise to share his honey with the forest creatures.

    Word of Winnie's decision spread quickly throughout the Hundred Acre Wood. The animals were amazed by his selflessness and gathered around him, eager to partake in the sweetness of his honey. Rabbit, Tigger, Piglet, and even Eeyore, who was known for his gloomy disposition, eagerly lined up for their share.

    As Winnie began to share his honey, he realized something extraordinary was happening. The more he gave away, the more his honey pots seemed to replenish themselves. It was as if the honey had a magical quality, multiplying with each act of kindness.

    In the midst of sharing his honey, Winnie felt a deep sense of joy and fulfillment. He realized that by letting go of his own desires and embracing the needs of others, he was experiencing a love and abundance far greater than any honey pot could offer.

    Throughout his journey of sharing, Winnie found solace in a Bible verse that resonated deeply with his experience. It was Proverbs 11:24, which says, "One person gives freely, yet gains even more; another withholds unduly, but comes to poverty." Winnie understood the truth behind these words as he witnessed the blessings that flowed from his act of obedience.

    As the days turned into weeks and weeks into months, Winnie continued to share his honey with the forest creatures. And in return, he received the immeasurable love and gratitude of his friends. This example led Rabbit to share his carrots which he also hold dear with the others in forest, and led the other forest creatures share what they had in so doing the famine passed and days of abundance came without a creature going throu hunger in all Hundred Acre Woods.

    In this beautiful parallel to the story of Abraham, Winnie the Pooh discovered the power of selflessness and the boundless blessings that come from sharing. His honey pots were a symbol of his attachment to material possessions of this world, and by letting go, he found a deeper connection with God those around him.

    And so, in the Hundred Acre Wood, the tale of Winnie the Pooh's obedience and generosity would be passed down from generation to generation, reminding all who heard it of the beauty that lies in selflessly sharing with others.

    1 Timothy 6:17-19
    Command those who are rich in this present age not to be haughty, nor to trust in uncertain riches but in the living God, who gives us richly all things to enjoy.
    Let them do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to give, willing to share,
    storing up for themselves a good foundation for the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.

  • Winnie Stands up for his Faith
    Aug 19 2023
    Once upon a time, in the Hundred Acre Wood, Winnie the Pooh and his friends lived harmoniously, going on adventures and enjoying each other's company. Pooh, a lovable bear with a heart of gold, had always been known for his simplicity and love for honey. However, something unexpected was about to happen that would test Pooh's faith in a way he had never imagined. One sunny day, a group of forest creatures arrived in the Hundred Acre Wood, led by a mischievous rabbit named Rascal. Rascal was a smooth talker and had convinced the animals that they should worship a golden honey pot, which he claimed possessed magical powers. The animals, influenced by Rascal's persuasive ways, eagerly embraced this new belief and built a large bonfire to worship the golden honey pot. Pooh and his friends were confused and concerned. They knew in their hearts that their true source of guidance and love came from their dear friend Christopher Robin and the Maker of the Wood. Pooh gathered his friends, including Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, and Rabbit, and they discussed how to handle the situation. Remembering the story of the three Hebrews in the Bible, who stood firm in their faith in God despite immense pressure, Pooh decided to take a stand for his faith in Jesus. He knew that he had to show his friends the true light and love that came from following the Maker of the Wood. With determination in his heart, Pooh approached the growing crowd surrounding the golden honey pot. The animals were chanting and dancing around the bonfire, their eyes fixated on the shimmering gold. Pooh stepped forward and raised his paw, calling for their attention. "Friends," Pooh began, his voice steady and gentle, "I have always cherished our friendship and the joy we find in the Hundred Acre Wood. But I have come to realize that the true source of our happiness does not lie in a golden honey pot or any material possession. It lies in the love and guidance we receive from our dear friend Christopher Robin but most importantly Jesus Christ the Maker of the Wood." The animals fell silent, their gazes shifting from the golden honey pot to Pooh. Rascal, feeling threatened by Pooh's words, sneered, "What do you know, Pooh? The golden honey pot has brought us power and fortune. It's the key to our happiness." Pooh smiled warmly and replied, "Rascal, my friend, true happiness doesn't come from things that can fade or be taken away. It comes from a deep and abiding relationship with Jesus Christ the Maker of the Wood. He loves us , died for us and raised from the dead so we can be forgiven and provides for us in ways we cannot even fathom. I choose to put my faith in Jesus Christ, for He is the true source of joy and peace." The animals pondered Pooh's words, and slowly, some of them began to step away from the bonfire. They realized that their friendship and the simple joys they had shared in the Hundred Acre Wood were far more valuable than any golden honey pot. Moved by Pooh's courage and conviction, Piglet, Tigger, Eeyore, and Rabbit joined him at the forefront, declaring their faith in the Maker of the Wood. Together, they prayed for their friends who were still captivated by the allure of the golden honey pot, hoping that they too would see the truth. Days turned into weeks, and gradually, more animals left the worship of the golden honey pot and returned to their beloved friendships in the Hundred Acre Wood. Pooh and his friends continued to live out their faith, sharing the love and grace they had received from the Maker of the Wood with those around them. Over time, the forest creatures began to notice a change in the demeanor of Pooh and his friends. They saw the peace that radiated from their hearts and the joy that filled their interactions. They saw selflessness and kindness in their actions, and it sparked curiosity within them. One by one, the animals approached Pooh and his friends, seeking to understand the source of their transformation. Pooh, always gentle and welcoming, shared stories of the Maker of the Wood and the love that had captured his heart. He spoke of the sacrificial love of Jesus, who gave His life so that they could experience true freedom from sin and joy in the things above. The animals listened intently, their hearts open to the truth. They realized that the golden honey pot had been a mere illusion, a distraction from the genuine and everlasting love that was available to them. They longed to know more about the Maker of the Wood, the one who could provide true purpose and meaning in their lives. Together, Pooh and his friends led the animals in prayer, inviting them to accept Jesus into their hearts and experience the transforming power of His love. The Hundred Acre Wood was filled with the joyful sounds of newfound faith and friendship. As the days passed, the animals continued to grow in their faith, supporting and encouraging one another. They discovered that true strength came from unity and that their shared ...

  • Christopher tells Pooh about Jesus
    Aug 19 2023
    Once upon a time in the Hundred Acre Wood, Christopher Robin and Winnie the Pooh were sitting beneath a large oak tree, enjoying the warmth of a beautiful sunny day. The birds were singing, and the gentle breeze rustled through the leaves, creating a peaceful atmosphere.

    Christopher Robin, with a thoughtful expression on his face, turned to his dear friend Pooh and said, "Pooh, have you ever wondered why we are here? What our purpose is in this world?"

    Pooh, with his paw dipped in a jar of honey, looked up at Christopher Robin and replied, "Oh, you mean why we spend our days searching for honey and having adventures?"

    Christopher Robin smiled warmly at Pooh and nodded. "Yes, those are wonderful parts of our lives, but I believe there's something even more extraordinary we should think about."

    Curiosity sparked in Pooh's eyes, and he set the honey jar aside. "Tell me more, Christopher Robin. What is it that you're thinking about?"

    Taking a deep breath, Christopher Robin began to share his faith in Jesus, the Son of God, who is also God , him coming to earth as a human and His sacrifice on the cross for their sins. He spoke about how Jesus came to the world to teach people about love, forgiveness, and the importance of a relationship with God. Christopher Robin explained that Jesus willingly gave His life on the cross, taking the punishment for all the wrong things people had done so that they could have a chance to be forgiven and have eternal life in heaven.

    As Christopher Robin spoke, Pooh listened intently, his eyes widening with each word. He was captivated by the love and sacrifice Jesus had shown for them and everyone else.

    "Christopher Robin," Pooh interrupted gently, "Does this mean that Jesus loves us, even if we make mistakes or do things that are not right?"

    Christopher Robin smiled warmly and nodded. "Yes, Pooh. Jesus loves us , no matter what. He wants us to understand His love, accept Him into our hearts, and strive to follow His teachings."

    Pooh pondered for a moment, and then a soft smile appeared on his face. "Oh, Christopher Robin, I think I understand. Jesus' love is like the honey in this jar. It's sweet, and it never runs out. Just like how we can always count on honey being there for us, we can always count on Jesus' love."

    Christopher Robin's eyes filled with joy as he embraced Pooh. "Exactly, my dear friend! Jesus' love is always there for us, guiding us, comforting us, and forgiving us. It's a love that will never fade away."

    From that day forward, Christopher Robin and Pooh continued their adventures in the Hundred Acre Wood, but with a newfound understanding and appreciation for the love of Jesus. They shared His teachings with their friends, spreading hope and joy throughout the wood, and cherishing the eternal love that had been revealed to them.

    And in the heart of the Hundred Acre Wood, the love and sacrifice of Jesus became a timeless tale, reminding everyone that no matter how small or simple they might feel, they were loved beyond measure, just as they were, by a Savior who gave everything for them.
