Dear Donkey,
People say donkeys are stubborn, but donkeys think before they act. They have excellent memories; and they are loyal to their families and owners.
Some donkeys like to complain.
And other donkeys like to cry
The Bible shows donkeys as calm, strong and smart. Donkeys pull hay and carry people on their backs. They need to be cared for and loved. Shake your head up and down like a donkey if you need care and love.
The Bible says, Jesus rode on a donkey into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday. (Matthew 21) Before Jesus could ride the donkey, he first had to find the donkey. Jesus sent two of his friends to get the donkey and bring him to Jesus. He told them where to find it. Jesus said, “you will find a colt tied up who has never been ridden.” (Mark 11:1-11)
The event is called Palm Sunday, because children and women were waving palm branches and cheering for Jesus. Jesus asked, his friend Peter, “Who do you say that I am?” Peter replied, “you are the Christ, the Son of the Living God.” (Matthew 16:15-16).
Another story in the Bible about a donkey is found in Numbers 22:21. Donkey and his owner (Balaam) travel to see God’s people, the Israelites. God tells Balaam to bless His people, but the King of Moab wants Balaam to curse God’s people. 
On the road, Balaam gets mad at his donkey for crushing his foot against the wall three times. We learn that donkey sees the Angel of the Lord holding a sword, but Balaam can’t see him. God opens the mouth of the donkey and he talks: “What have I done to make you whip me three times? Am I not your own donkey who you ride all the time? When have I ever done this to you?” Then at once, Balaam’s eyes were opened. God was sad for the donkey who was hurt by his owner (Balaam) and gave him speech. He teaches Balaam a lesson through his donkey so he will bless God’s people. For only God is able to see the heart of a person. Proverbs 2:6 says: “All wisdom comes from the Lord, and so do common sense and understanding.” Balaam tells his donkey and God that he is sorry and decides to do what God has asked him to do.
