🦉 “What’s Going On?!”
1. The Egg‑Rolling Disaster
Hooty: Hoot, hand me that egg gently.

Hoot: What’s going on?!
Hooty: He’s having a very bunny day.
4. The Flying Candy Incident
Hoot: I found candy!

Hooty: I wasn’t even hungry.
(Eats it anyway.)
5. The Egg Hunt Chaos

Hoot: What’s going on?!
Hooty: I think the eggs are winning.
6. The Sunrise Surprise
(They watch the sunrise service.)

🎶 GOD’S GATHERING TEARS Song
🎶 GOD’S GATHERING TEARS
©2026 Susan Barker Nikitenko — All Rights Reserved
Verse 1
In the quiet of the midnight, when the world feels lone and small,
When the heart is bruised and trembling, and no one sees at all,
There’s a whisper in the heavens, soft as mercy drawing near—
God’s angel walks the shadows, gathering every tear.
Chorus
God’s gathering tears,
Every sorrow, every fear.
Not a moment goes unnoticed,
Not a cry He doesn’t hear.
In the bottle of His keeping,
Every drop is held so dear—
Hope is rising in the heavens,
For God is gath'ring tears.
Verse 2
When the lies of men surround us, and the night feels full of dread,
When the Outlaws of deception try to twist what truth has said,
There’s a light that breaks the darkness, and it drives away the fear—
For the Lord Himself is watching, and He gathers ev'ry tear.
Chorus
God’s gathering tears,
Every sorrow, every fear.
Not a moment goes unnoticed,
Not a cry He doesn’t hear.
In the bottle of His keeping,
Every drop is held so dear—
Hope is rising in the heavens,
For God is gathering tears.
Bridge
No tear is wasted,
No pain ignored.
He writes them in His book,
He heals the heart that’s sore.
And when justice rolls like thunder,
And the broken rise restored—
We will see the mighty kindness
Of the Savior we adore.
Final Chorus
God’s gathering tears,
Every sorrow, every fear.
He will turn them into glory,
He will make the pathway clear.
In the bottle of His mercy,
Every drop is treasured here—
Joy is coming in the morning,
For God is gathering tears.

⚖️ THE COURTROOM OF LIGHT
⚖️ THE COURTROOM OF LIGHT
(A Justice Scene for “The Danger That Lurks”)
©2026 Susan Barker Nikitenko
The great hall of Havenridge was silent as dawn. Sunlight streamed through the tall windows like golden spears, cutting through the dust that hung in the air. People gathered in hushed clusters, whispering about the night when shadows fled and truth rose like a storm.
At the front of the room stood a wooden bench polished by years of judgments. But today, something was different.
Today, Justice herself seemed to stand behind it.
Her presence was not loud, but it was unmistakable — steady, righteous, unshakable.
Outlaw was brought forward, wrists bound, eyes darting like a trapped animal. Behind him stood his silent partners — Greed, Deception, and Whisper — each wearing the same mask of false innocence.
Faithful sat in the front row, hands folded, Bible resting on her lap.
Anger and Mistrust sat beside her, humbled, changed, their faces softer than they had been in years.
A hush fell as the Judge entered — a tall, solemn figure robed in white. No one recognized him, yet everyone felt they had always known Him. His eyes held the weight of eternity.
He spoke only one word:
“Proceed.”
🌩️ THE ACCUSATION
The prosecutor stepped forward — a man with a voice like rolling thunder.
Some whispered he was no ordinary man.
Some whispered he was an angel.
He opened a scroll.
“Outlaw,” he said, “you stand accused of sowing discord, stirring fear, twisting truth, and trespassing upon the peace of this town. Your motive was not concern. Your motive was not justice. Your motive was greed.”
Greed snarled. “Everyone wants more. I only gave him what he desired.”
The Judge lifted a hand. “Silence.”
Greed fell silent instantly.
🌧️ THE EVIDENCE
The prosecutor held up a crystal vial — the same one carried through the night.
Inside it shimmered the tears of God’s people.
“Every tear,” he said, “is a testimony. Every sorrow recorded. Every cry heard.”
Faithful felt her breath catch.
Anger bowed his head.
Mistrust wiped his eyes.
The prosecutor continued:
“These tears were shed because of lies whispered in the dark. Because of windows listened at. Because of hearts manipulated. Because of greed that sought gain at the cost of peace.”
He turned toward Outlaw.
“Do you deny it?”
Outlaw trembled. “I… I only wanted—”
“More,” the prosecutor finished. “More than God gave. More than you earned. More than you deserved.”
🔥 THE VERDICT
The Judge rose.
His voice filled the hall, yet it was gentle — like thunder wrapped in mercy.
“Outlaw, Greed, Deception, Whisper — you have been weighed. You have been measured. You have been found wanting.”
A wind swept through the courtroom, warm and bright.
“You sought to destroy My people,” the Judge said. “But I am their Defender. Their Keeper. Their Shield.”
He lifted the vial of tears.
“These tears are precious to Me.”
Light burst from the vial, filling the room with brilliance.
Outlaw and his companions cried out as the light swallowed them — not in cruelty, but in righteous judgment.
When the light faded, they were gone.
Justice had been served.
🌅 THE AFTERMATH
Faithful stood slowly, tears in her eyes — but these were tears of relief.
Anger whispered, “We were blind.”
Mistrust nodded. “But God wasn’t.”
Faithful placed a hand on their shoulders. “He gathers every tear. He sees every wrong. He rights every injustice. And He restores what was broken.”
The Judge turned toward them, His expression soft.
“Walk in truth,” He said. “Walk in peace. Walk in Me.”
And with that, He was gone — leaving behind a courtroom filled with awe, a town washed clean, and hearts forever changed.
Because God always wins in the end.

✨ THE DANGER THAT LURKS (PG)?
✨ THE DANGER THAT LURKS
©2026 Susan Barker Nikitenko
Night settled over the small mountain town of Havenridge like a velvet curtain, soft but hiding shadows. Most people slept peacefully, unaware that danger had begun to move quietly between the houses — danger wearing a friendly smile by day and a mask of darkness by night.
His name was Outlaw, and he had a habit of listening at windows that were not his, leaning close to doors that did not belong to him. He wanted secrets — not to help, but to twist, to stir, to destroy.
But Outlaw didn’t know that someone else walked the night as well.
A tall figure, clothed in light no darkness could swallow, moved silently along the ridges and rooftops. God’s Angel, unseen by human eyes, carried a small crystal vial. Inside it shimmered something precious — the tears of God’s people, gathered with tenderness, guarded with holy fire.
Tonight, more tears would fall.
Tonight, justice would begin.
🌑 THE BROTHERS OF TROUBLE
In a small house on Lantern Street lived two brothers: Anger and Mistrust. They were not bad men, but they were wounded men — and wounded men often bleed on those who never cut them.
Anger paced the living room, fists tight.
Mistrust sat by the window, staring into the dark.
“They’re talking about us again,” Anger growled.
“I heard them,” Mistrust whispered. “Someone outside… listening.”
Outlaw smiled in the shadows outside their home.
He loved this.
He lived for this.
🌧️ THE TEARS OF FAITHFUL
Across town, in a little cottage with a flickering porch light, lived a woman named Faithful. She prayed every night for her neighbors — even the ones who hurt her. Even the ones who whispered. Even the ones who misunderstood.
Tonight, she knelt beside her bed, tears slipping down her cheeks.
“Lord… I don’t know what’s happening in our town. But You see. You know. Please help us.”
God’s Angel stepped into her room, unseen, and caught each tear in the crystal vial. The liquid glowed brighter.
“Your tears are not wasted,” the angel whispered, though she could not hear. “They are evidence.”
__________________________________________________________________________________
“Greed Was Their Motive”
But beneath all the whispers, beneath the shadows Outlaw stirred, there was a deeper rot spreading through Havenridge — greed. It slithered quietly through the hearts of those who wanted more than God had given, more than they had earned, more than they deserved. Greed had a voice, smooth as oil and cold as stone. It whispered to Outlaw, to his hidden partners, to those who pretended friendship by day but plotted by night. “Take what is not yours. Listen where you should not listen. Twist what you hear. Turn neighbor against neighbor. There is profit in chaos.” And they believed it. They believed the lie because it promised power. But greed is a cruel master, and every step they took in secret was recorded by the One who sees in secret. Their motive was money — but their downfall would be justice.
🔥 THE NIGHT OF RECKONING
Outlaw crept from Faithful’s window toward Lantern Street again, eager to stir more trouble. But as he reached the corner, a sudden wind rose — not cold, but fierce with holiness.
A voice thundered, not from the sky, but from everywhere at once.
“Enough.”
Outlaw froze.
The angel stepped forward, light blazing.
“You have listened long enough. You have twisted long enough. You have harmed long enough.”
Outlaw trembled. “I—I was only—”
“Only sowing discord. Only feeding lies. Only stirring fear.”
The angel lifted the vial of tears.
“These tears testify against you.”
The wind roared.
The shadows fled.
Outlaw fell to his knees.
🌅 THE DAWN OF TRUTH
Morning broke over Havenridge with a strange stillness. Anger and Mistrust stepped outside to find Faithful walking toward them, Bible in hand.
“Something happened last night,” she said softly.
Anger rubbed his eyes. “I… I feel different. Like something heavy lifted.”
Mistrust nodded. “Like the darkness broke.”
Faithful smiled gently. “God fights for His people. Even when we don’t see it.”
Anger swallowed hard. “Faithful… I’m sorry. For the things I said. For the things I believed.”
Mistrust added, “We were wrong. We let fear rule us.”
Faithful placed a hand over her heart. “We all fall. But Christ lifts.”
The three stood together as sunlight warmed the street — a new beginning, a new trust, a new peace.
Somewhere above them, God’s Angel poured the gathered tears into the river of Heaven, where sorrow becomes strength and justice becomes joy.
And Outlaw?
He was gone — removed, exposed, judged.
Truth had won.
Because God always wins in the end.

Susan Barker Nikitenko 2026© MBGEOPASTOR #1001c🌿 THE SONG OF THE SPARROW Story Devotion
🌿 THE SONG OF THE SPARROW
A Story of Truth, Being Real, and Becoming a Blessing
Jonas Reed loved early mornings.
He would sit on his back porch with a cup of coffee, listening to the world wake up. But what he loved most was the sparrow that perched on the same fence post every dawn.
The little bird never sang perfectly.
Its notes were uneven, sometimes sharp, sometimes soft, sometimes broken. But it sang with everything it had — full‑hearted, unpolished, real.
One morning, Jonas noticed something unusual.
A larger, more colorful bird landed beside the sparrow — a bright cardinal with flawless feathers and a smooth, practiced song. The cardinal sang beautifully, but it sang only a few notes before flying away.
The sparrow stayed.
And it kept singing.
Jonas smiled. “That’s me,” he whispered. “Not perfect… but still singing.”
He had spent years trying to be the “cardinal” — polished, impressive, put‑together. He hid his struggles, his doubts, his failures. He believed that being a blessing meant being impressive.
But the sparrow reminded him of something he had forgotten:
God is blessed by sincerity, not performance but give your best. God looks at your heart.
That morning, Jonas opened his Bible and read:
“The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.”
— Psalm 51:17 (KJV)
A broken heart.
A real heart.
A heart that sings even when the notes aren’t perfect.
Jonas bowed his head and prayed honestly for the first time in a long time.
He told God the truth — the fears he hid, the sins he carried, the weariness he masked. And as he prayed, he felt something lift.
Not because he was strong.
But because he was finally real.
Later that week, Jonas visited a friend who was struggling. Instead of offering polished advice, he shared his own story — His Failures, the doubts, the sparrow‑song honesty.
His friend’s eyes filled with tears.
“Thank you,” he said. “I thought I was the only one.”
In that moment, Jonas realized:
Being real didn’t make him weak.
It made him a blessing.
God wasn’t asking him to sing perfectly.
God was asking him to sing truthfully.
And like the sparrow, Jonas kept singing — not with perfection, but with sincerity that touched hearts and honored God.
🌟 THE GOSPEL INVITATION
The sparrow’s song reminds us of a deeper truth:
We don’t come to God with perfection.
We come with honesty.
The Bible says:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God.”
— Romans 3:23 (KJV)
But God, in His love, made a way for broken, imperfect people:
“Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners.”
— 1 Timothy 1:15 (KJV)
Jesus died for the real you —
not the polished version,
not the pretend version,
but the honest, needy, searching heart.
And He invites you to come:
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”
— Romans 10:13 (KJV)
If you’ve never trusted Christ — or if you’ve been hiding behind a mask — you can come to Him today with a sincere heart:
“Lord, I know I am a sinner.
I believe Jesus died for me and rose again.
I trust Him as my Savior.
Take my life — real and honest — and make it Yours.”
God is not blessed by perfection.
He is blessed by truth.
And a truthful heart is a beautiful song in His ears.

🌿 Bless Him by Being Real - Devotion
🌿 Bless Him by Being Real
“Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts…” — Psalm 51:6 (KJV)
One of the greatest gifts you can offer God is your honesty.
Not the polished version of yourself.
Not the Sunday‑morning smile that hides the week’s battles.
Not the “I’m fine” you tell others when your heart is breaking.
God is not blessed by pretend perfection.
He is blessed by truth.
David — a man after God’s own heart — was not perfect. He stumbled, he wept, he failed, he feared. But he blessed the Lord by coming to Him real, knowing you need God in your life in humility.
“I poured out my complaint before him;
I shewed before him my trouble.” — Psalm 142:2 (KJV)
God already knows the truth.
He simply wants you to bring it to Him.
🌟 Bless Him With Honest Confession
“Search me, O God, and know my heart…” — Psalm 139:23 (KJV)
When you admit your struggles, your weaknesses, your temptations, and your sins to God, you bless God with a heart that refuses to hide.
🌟 Bless Him With Honest Praise
“I will praise thee with my whole heart.” — Psalm 138:1 (KJV)
Whole‑hearted praise is not half‑hearted performance.
It is real, sincere, and rooted in truth.
🌟 Bless Him With Honest Dependence
“My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart…” — Psalm 73:26 (KJV)
Being real means admitting you can’t do everything or anything on your own. We are to do things with his help and guidance.
It means leaning on Him when you feel weak.
It means trusting Him when you don’t understand.
🌟 Bless Him With Honest Living
“Providing for honest things…” — 2 Corinthians 8:21 (KJV)
A life of integrity blesses God.
A life that matches your words blesses God.
A life that is the same in private as in public blesses God.
Real faith is lived, not a show - genuine
🌟 A Simple Prayer
Lord, help me bless You by being real.
Give me the strength to be successful.
Teach me to walk in honesty, humility, and truth.
Let my life — seen and unseen — bring You glory.
In Christs Name Amen

🌿 Bless Him with Actions Devotion
“Let your light so shine before men…” — Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
It is one thing to say we love the Lord.
It is another thing entirely to show it.
Scripture teaches that our actions preach louder than our voices ever could. Jesus said, “By their fruits ye shall know them” (Matthew 7:20). A life that blesses God is a life that lives out His goodness in everyday moments.
To bless Him with actions means:
- choosing kindness when irritation feels easier
- offering forgiveness when hurt tries to take root
- serving quietly when no one is watching
- loving people who cannot repay you
- obeying God even when it costs something
These are the moments heaven sees.
These are the choices that bless the heart of God.
🌟 1. Bless Him With Obedience
“If ye love me, keep my commandments.” — John 14:15 (KJV)
Obedience is not a burden — it is a gift we give back to the One who saved us.
Every time you choose His way over your own, you bless Him.
🌟 2. Bless Him With Compassion
“Be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted…” — Ephesians 4:32 (KJV)
Compassion is one of the clearest reflections of Christ.
A gentle word, a helping hand, a patient spirit — these actions shine His love into the world.
🌟 3. Bless Him With Faithfulness
“Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.” — 1 Corinthians 4:2 (KJV)
Faithfulness in the small things blesses God deeply.
He sees every quiet act of devotion, every unseen sacrifice, every steady step of trust.
🌟 4. Bless Him With Praise in Motion
“Let everything that hath breath praise the LORD.” — Psalm 150:6 (KJV)
Praise is not only a song — it is a lifestyle.

"🌷 Spring Is Proof" Song and Devotion
🌷 Spring Is Proof
fun original song)
Verse 1
The frost may linger longer than we
planned,
The road may feel too heavy where we stand.
But then a tiny bud breaks through the ground,
Whispering softly, “Hope is still around.”
Chorus
Spring is proof that mercy blooms
again,
Proof that endings never have to win.
When the world feels tired and the nights are long,
God sends a sunrise wrapped in birdsongs.
Spring is proof — oh, beautiful proof —
New life is breaking through.
Verse 2
The rain comes tumbling down in playful
streams,
Washing off the dust of winter’s dreams.
And every drop that sparkles in the light
Says, “Hold on, heart — joy is taking flight.”
Chorus
Spring is proof that mercy blooms
again,
Proof that endings never have to win.
When the world feels tired and the nights are long,
God sends a sunrise wrapped in birdsongs.
Spring is proof — oh, wonderful proof —
New life is breaking through.
Verse 3 — Creation Sings
Morning light spills gold across the
hills,
Robins lift their praise until the world stands still.
Every leaf and river joins the King —
All creation lifts its voice to sing.
Chorus 2 — Creation Sings
Creation sings — the mountains echo
grace,
Creation sings — His glory fills this place.
From whispering winds to soaring wings,
The whole earth shouts: “The Lord is King!”
Refrain
New life is breaking through — mercy
morning‑fresh and new.
Bridge
Tulips in their Sunday best,
Breezes humming, never rest.
Even tiny sparrows bring
A melody for Christ the King.
Laughing skies and dancing trees
Join the chorus on the breeze.
Little tulips stretch like blessings in
a row,
Chubby robins chirp about the peeps they know.
Even the breeze seems fond of what it grew —
Laughing, “See? I told you God makes all things new!”
Final Chorus (Lifted + Encouraging)
Spring is proof that mercy blooms
again,
Proof that broken hearts can rise and mend.
Every gentle blossom, every drop of dew,
Sings the sweetest promise: God’s not through.
Spring is proof — forever the proof —
New life is breaking through.

All of Nature Sings
A Devotional
There are
moments when creation seems almost louder than words — when the night sky
glitters like a choir of diamonds, when the wind hums through the trees like a
hymn, when even the stones beneath our feet feel ancient with praise. Scripture
tells us that creation is not silent. It is alive with testimony.
The stars
preach a sermon older than any human voice.
“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his
handywork.” (Psalm 19:1, KJV)
Every twinkling light is a reminder that the God who hung galaxies in place
also watches tenderly over us.
The rocks,
unmoving and unchanging, stand as witnesses to His power.
When the Pharisees tried to quiet the joyful crowd, Jesus answered,
“…if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.”
(Luke 19:40, KJV)
Even the silent things are ready to sing.
The rivers clap
in rhythm with His goodness.
“Let the floods clap their hands: let the hills be joyful together.” (Psalm
98:8, KJV)
Creation responds to its Creator with joy — not reluctantly, but eagerly.
The winds
whisper His faithfulness.
The mountains echo His strength.
The birds announce His mercies every morning.
The flowers bloom in quiet obedience, each petal a soft hallelujah.
And then there
is us — the ones made in His image.
If the stars shine, the rocks cry out, and the rivers clap, how much more
should our hearts overflow with praise? We, too, are part of the great chorus
of creation. Our gratitude, our worship, our trust — these are the notes we
contribute to the song.
Spring reminds
us that God is still composing beauty in places that once looked barren.
New life pushes through the soil, through the cold, through the impossible.
It is as if all of nature leans in to say, “He is still working. He is still
faithful. He is still worthy.”
All of
nature sings — and we are invited to join the song.
🌸
