This week we are covering the timeless truths covered in the story of "Daniel and the Lion's Den." We will have a real Lion in Kidstuf to show the kids what it would be like to live with a Lion over night. There is no reason to worry...I don't think. The Lion will be on a video that we will show. Hopefully this will help the kids know exactly what Daniel had gotten into when living for God and how God was faithful to protect him that night. We are going to talk a lot about bravery, courage, and standing up for what is right because God is there to protect us.
I talk about being "brave" all the time to my son. Actually, I had to last night because he was scared of a fox. I had seen a fox out in the woods yesterday, so I was telling him all about it because he loves animals. He kept saying, "Fox scare me." over and over again. So I had to reason with our 2 year old that the fox was actually scared of him, and God made Carter to be brave. Once he got the ideas that God made him to be brave and God will protect him, he would not be quiet about it. He talked about that fox all night last night. He told Katie, my wife, "I want to help daddy get the fox." That's a big swing from the state of mind where he was afraid of only the idea of the fox. Your kids want to be brave and courageous for a cause like Daniel was. They dream about this kind of stuff...I'm not joking. Make sure they know there is only one cause to be brave for in their life. That cause is the glory of God.
