The Story of the Traveling Travelzoonz
The following story is based on true events. During our time in Panama I was inspired to earnestly seek child like faith. This is to Ann, Emma and Pastor Bill.
"I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children"
- Matthew 11:25
The Travelzoonz were in a land much like a prison. The land had walls around it. The clock was tickady-tock-ticking, so they took a truck and a machine bird to travel to new lands. O, it was a big truck they travelled with. A big truck indeed! The truck even had a roof and walls over the back, with openings called windows. The Travelzoonz sweat and sweat and sleeping was just a dream...
At the nest of the machine birds the sun was big and yellow, but one little travelzoon's eyes were heavy, as heavy as can be. So where will the Travelzoon sleep? "Well a house made of trolleys," she thought. So there she went to Zuuh-zuuh-land in a trolley without wheels...
Finally it was time to fly. Up up and away they went to more enchanted lands. More lands to bless and to discover.
On the plane some slept, but even better some had snacks. O, the Travelzoonz love their snacks. Snacks of shapes and smells and sizes. You see, the Travelzoonz serve a Mighty King. A King with green eyes with fire in them. The King goes in front and at the back and even inside. The King is inside and out and all around. The King always provides, thus when the Travelzoonz sleep they sleep silent. And when they eat, they eat with smiles.
Then the Travelzoonz lived next to a canal. A canal where boats as wide as the sky swim in. Big boats that carry big machines that run on their backs. Big boats that drink black water, and throw it up sometimes...
The Travelzoonz were happy next to the canal. They lived with the Man with Silver Hair. The Man with Silver Hair had a smile that stretched from eternity to here. His smile showed the Travelzoonz something new in the King's eyes. Green eyes, but not with fire this time. Though fire is not bad. This time The King's eyes were filled with many friends. Friends of different color, shapes and hair.
They saw all these friends in the Man with the Silver Hair and the King was pleased with the Man with the Silver Hair and the Travelzoonz knew that. The Travelzoonz then wanted the same eyes full of friends and they were inspired to go out into all the lands to make friends of different color, shapes and hair.
The end.
