This week in Kidstuf we are learning about how Joseph takes care of his family during the 7 year plague that struck the middle east during his lifetime. Caring for others can take on many forms...physical, mental, or spiritual to name the most common forms. I'm going to go out on a limb and say, "most of the time we are guilty of only considering physical and mental care when it comes to our children or grandchildren." It makes sense...it's what we see and it's what we are naturally geared to fix. If the knee gets scraped, we put a bandaid on it. I know that I can be guilty of this. Sometimes we don't know what to do if there is a spiritual pain because we've not had spiritual conversations with our kids. Those conversations lead to the discovery of spiritual pain. That is where the Rites of Passage Experiences come in. These not only are practical, but help us intentionally engage our kids. Check out ROPE today at thegladechurch.org/ROPE.
