Psalm 19:1-6 & Isaiah 40: 25-29 Today's story reminds us why it's important to stop and take in the wonders God has created around us. They are true miracles that can point us back to Him, the Creator. You children are usually very good at this. You  enjoy asking, "but why? Why do the leaves change color, why is the sky blue?" Even when we answer your questions with scientific words and terms we've made to describe what happens in nature, it does not take away the miracle behind how nature works. So kids, be curious; enjoy stopping and staring, and let what you learn make you marvel at how incredible our Creator is.

Esther 2:19-7:7 I respect each family's ages/stages of life so I have chosen to edit some of this story. Please go back and read the scriptures yourself and feel free to discuss with your kids as you see fit. We continue our story on Esther from last week. In today's story, we will hear how Esther has to make a serious decision; will she do what is right or that which she knows is wrong. Our story reminds us that perhaps God made her Queen at just the right time, in the right place, for this exact reason. We connect these dots to Kid's every day lives. I hope this facilitates some good conversations between you and your children.  Thanks for listening!

This episode was a special request from some of our listeners. This will also be longer than our typical episode to fit in the context of the story. Today, we get to hear the classic story of strong Samson. What will Samson do when he loses his strength  because of his hair cut?!?!? We will hear how mighty Samson was faithful & cried out to God for help!  Even though Samson sinned, God still used him and forgave him. ***NOTE TO PARENTS: I want to respect what you feel is appropriate for your children at their individual stage and age of life. I also have a variety of age ranges that listen. Because of this, I have left out some of Samson's events.
