My bible class. Not everyone was present but we still had fun. I am trying to help the boys in my class realise that even if their life is hard God is still present. One of the boys in the class has a father suffering from cancer. The other boy recently moved to our school because he was being bullied. They may be kids but they sure carry with them tons of experiences and hurts. We are going to start to study Job's life.
Andrew lead the kids at school in what we call Daddy Devotionals last Thursday. Each week we have a dad come in and lead the kids in a brief devotional. He did a object lesson using a dollar bill (actually it was a 20 pesos bill). He spoke about how things like reading our bibles, spending quiet time with the Lord, attending church and having fellowship all helps us become stronger. Each time he spoke of one of the things that make us stronger he would fold the dollar bill. At the end there was 4 folds in it and the bill was able to hold up a can of coke.
The lesson being that the bill could not hold up the can of coke. We aren't strong when we are not engaged in our christian walk. Hearing the truth is great but we need to take time to think it over, to let the truth change us from the inside out.
