- Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6
Once upon a time, there were two seeds in a garden. One seed, named Sammy, was impatient and wanted to grow big right away. The other seed, named Suzy, was patient and trusted in God's timing. Sammy tried to rush his growth by pushing up too quickly, but he got tired and weak. Suzy, however, grew slowly, her roots deep in the soil, becoming strong and healthy.
God has a plan for each of us, and patience is a virtue. Trust in Him, and you'll grow in His time.
In a dark village, there was a little lamp that wanted to shine brightly for Jesus. But she was scared because she was small. One night, when everyone else was asleep, she decided to light up just a little. Her small glow caught the attention of someone who needed comfort, and soon more people gathered around her light, sharing stories of God's love.
Even the smallest light can make a difference in the darkness. Share Jesus' love, no matter how small you feel.
A little sparrow, named Pip, lived in a tree with many other birds. One day, another bird accidentally knocked Pip's nest down. Pip was very upset but remembered Jesus' teaching about forgiveness. Instead of being angry, Pip helped rebuild the other bird's nest, and in return, they all worked together to make Pip's nest even better than before.
Forgiveness brings peace and friendship. Like Jesus forgives us, we should forgive others.
There was an ant named Andy who found a shiny piece of candy. His friends told him to keep it, but Andy knew it didn't belong to him. He went on a long journey to return the candy to the person who lost it. When he did, he was rewarded not with more candy but with the joy of doing what was right.
Honesty is always the best policy, and God blesses those who do what is right, even when it's hard.
In a flock, there was a little lamb named Lily who was always scared of the big, bad wolf. One night, she heard the wolf's howl but remembered Jesus said, "Be strong and courageous." Instead of running, she stayed close to the shepherd. The shepherd chased the wolf away, and Lily learned she was safe with Jesus watching over her.
With Jesus as our shepherd, we can be brave against our fears. He protects us.
