Counting Stars

Counting Stars

“He counts the stars and names each one. Our Lord is great and very powerful. There is no limit to what He knows.” Psalm 147:4-5 ICB Have you ever gone outside in the evening, looked up at the dark sky, and noticed the white stars twinkling above you like tiny diamonds? If you tried to count all of them, you’d be there all night. If you tried to name them, you’d run out of names! There are many more stars in the sky than we can see at night, and we cannot know exactly how many there are. The people who study the stars guess there are around two trillion in the universe. That’s a lot! It would be impossible for us to count the stars and give them all a name, but God knows exactly how many there are, and He knows all their names. God knows your name, too,...

Cloud Maker

Cloud Maker

Do you know how the clouds hang in the sky? They are miracles of God, who knows everything. Job 37:16 ICB Have you ever looked up at the sky and tried to find different shapes in the clouds? If you spend time looking, sometimes you can see clouds that look like dinosaurs, hearts, or whatever you can imagine! God creates clouds in different shapes, colors, and sizes. He spreads them out across the sky, filling them with water, snow, and ice. They water the earth so plants, animals, and people can survive. Clouds also help protect us from the sun’s heat during the day and keep us from getting too cold at night. The next time you hear storm clouds roar with thunder or see fluffy white ones floating in the sky, stop and notice them. God makes clouds to remind us how...

Choosing Friends Carefully

Choosing Friends Carefully

“Godly people are careful about the friends they choose.” Proverbs 12:26 NIrV Have you ever seen a squishy, fuzzy, cuddly caterpillar wriggling its way down a sidewalk when you’re on a walk or at the park? The creepy-crawly insects that look so cute and cuddly can be tempting to hold and play with, but did you know that type of caterpillar could hurt you if you picked one up? Those caterpillars are called American Dagger caterpillars. They live near trees and have brightly colored, fuzzy-looking hairs that can cause your skin to burn, itch, or form a rash. American Dagger caterpillars might look harmless from the outside, but they can hurt us if we get too close. The same is true about certain people who seem nice on the outside, but the more you get to know...

God’s Grace To You and Through You for All

God’s Grace To You and Through You for All

How do you demonstrate love? Count the ways! Now that GOD’s ‘new’ has begun, we are ‘new’ in Jesus, and we will begin to learn ‘new’ ways to ❤️ the way God loves! John 15:13 says the greatest love a person can show is to die for his friends. List the ways you can show “The Greatest ❤️”.   Perhaps, some would say it is doing “whatever” a ‘friend’ asks or says. Do you think it’s dressing, thinking, or talking exactly like someone else? Could real love mean overlooking the many differences we have and focusing on the person? Would the “greatest” love mean telling someone only what they want to hear? God Who is perfect love at ALL times teaches us that there is...
