Bible Poem ~ David

DAVID

Little David, shepherd boy,

Sleeping there beneath the stars -
You may not know it, yet, but God
Knows the wonder that you are!

Just because you had to fight
To save your flock from enemies,
You were strengthened, in your soul,
And did for God a mighty thing!

Little David, with his sling -
Goliath (great and mighty, tall,
Armored, and so highly trained)
Fell the hardest of them all!

Little David, now the King,
Still can play the harp and lyre,
Sing the songs of God on high,
With the Spirit’s mighty power!

Making Fall Count

Treasure Box Preschool ~ Fall

Making Fall Count

1 - 2 - 3

Rake the leaves;

Into a pile of fun.

4 -5 -6

Do some flips;

Start out with a run.

7 - 8- 9

fall is a time;

To enjoy the leaves.

Then comes 10;

Jump right in;

With your playtime friends.

A Song For Preschoolers

I'm sure that when God created the fall season
He had children in mind when He gave us the leaves.

What's The Deal with Lightning Bugs?

What's The Deal With Lightning Bugs?

-----

What is the deal with lightning bugs? I mean, here is this rather ordinary looking flying insect, but wait ... it has a glow-in-the-dark rear end! What was God thinking?
I'm sure science has all kinds of explanations about how this fluorescent fanny is useful for mating and other stuff, but why did God choose to make the lightning bug glow? I wonder if, when God was creating all the animals and everything around us, he came up with the idea of the lightning bug and said, "The kids are gonna love this."
We know that God loves us enough to create all the things we need to survive, but does God love us so much He created some things just to make us smile?
Just seeing lightning bugs takes me back to those warm summer nights of my youth. I'd be running around the back yard with my empty Mason jar, racing toward the flashing lights all around me. I can still feel the joy and hear the laughter echoing through my memories. Lightning bugs were as much a part of summer as fireworks, fresh tomatoes, and big ice-cold slabs of juicy watermelon. (I also have a theory of why God made watermelon seeds the perfect size to spit, but that is another story.)
God created so much diversity in this world, much more than is needed for mere survival. He made all of this for us, and He wants us to enjoy it.
We can get so busy surrounding ourselves with man-made goods that we don't notice the living tapestry God has laid out all around us.
I guess lightning bugs do have a purpose after all. They are a reminder of a creative God who loves us so much, He'd even paint the rear end of a bug ... just to see us smile ...

Fright Night ~ By: Belinda Van Rensburg

Fright Night

by Belinda van Rensburg

In the deepest, darkest night

After I've switched off the light

Creatures lurk within my room

Planning my demise and doom.

They slither, slink and crawl around

Making not the slightest sound;

Waiting with abated breath

To pounce and scare me half to death.

My heart is pounding in my chest

I'm scared to breathe or move 'round lest

The monsters hiding 'neath my bed

Decide it's time that they were fed.

I am so scared; what should I do?

Night after dark night I go through

The same emotions; fear and fright

As soon as I've turned off my light.

I remember someone said

(or is it something that I read?)

We should never, ever fear

For God's Spirit's always near.

I'm not alone: He's here with me

And scary monsters must all flee;

When in Jesus's Name I pray

They have to leave and stay away.

I say a prayer and sing a song

Whilst unseen angels sing along;

They've come to guard me as I sleep;

To slay all things which crawl and creep
