Giving Thanks

I have a hoodie that says FEAST MODE. Plan on wearing hoodie.  We are talking about being thankful and giving thanks because we Americans celebrate Thanksgiving in November. Hence my hoodie. We feast on turkey (I’m ready for that amazing meal that is shared with people I love.) POINT OUT MY HOODIE. And sing highContinue reading “Giving Thanks”

Do our pets go to Heaven? 

Billy Graham, when asked this question answered, “God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in Heaven. And if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there. I’m sure my dogs are going to be waiting in Heaven. They never sinned.”This quote is from letters written to Billy Graham. In the sameContinue reading “Do our pets go to Heaven? “

The door

Knock on the pew to represent knocking on a door. These pictures are black and white so that colors aren’t the first thing you see. *For the lesson, I printed them in black and white. Show children the picture of a normal door. Then show them the picture of Jesus standing at the door. OtherContinue reading “The door”

A formal introduction 

*Author’s note, the pastor asked me if I was interested in doing children’s church. And I said yes. It’s four to five minutes with the children of the church before the adult service starts. Pray for me. I want to do the best job I can. 🙏🏻 This is written the way I’m hoping toContinue reading “A formal introduction “

Human mess

The person I was yesterday, I am not today. Jesus has given me the opportunity through grace, to change who I was and who I will become.  We learn.  We grow. We change.  We overcome. Walking in the foot steps of Christ is hard.  I stumble:           I make snap judgments.Continue reading “Human mess”

Undercover Publishing House 2025 I grew up in a household where you DID NOT brag on yourself. Being thankful for you might be viewed as bragging?  ThereContinue reading “Thankful Thursday”

Thankful Thursday

The Bible group I study with re-read Genesis recently.  Here we go again. How many books have you read more than once? Typically, we read a book. When we are finished, take it back to the library. Give it to a friend or put it in a book box. The really good ones might endContinue reading “Thankful Thursday”

The Book of Ruth

When I quote Bible verses from Ruth, I’m using the English Standard Version (ESV). How do you feel about The Book of Ruth? This isn’t a trap for you dear reader. It’s an honest question.  Personally, I have an issue with this little Bible book. Please don’t get me wrong and give me time toContinue reading “The Book of Ruth”

Perfect verse blameless 🥊

Have you ever had a nagging question that nothing seemed to quench?  The prayer group I’m involved with has been re-reading Genesis. I listen to an audio recording. As I’m listening to a daily reading I hear, “These are the generations of Noah: Noah was a just man and perfect in his generations, and NoahContinue reading “Perfect verse blameless 🥊”
