We have lots of glitter. Genesis 15:4-6. It was a Sunday afternoon when Becky Perkins led training with our children’s teachers. They had the training in our resource room. The resource room is full of cool stuff that can be used for crafts: paints, puppets, pipe cleaners, ribbon, glue, and GLITTER! One of the upcoming lessons was the story of God showing Abraham the stars in the sky. God promised that Abraham’s descendants would be as numerous as the stars. One teacher decided that gluing glitter as a sky would bring the scripture to life. It was a big hit with the kids the next week as they took their glitter pictures home. When Abraham looked at the glittering stars in the sky, he put his faith in God and God’s promise. Hopefully, our children will be reminded of God’s goodness every time they use glitter or look at the stars and put their faith in the God who loves them.

God of all creation, we give thanks to you. Thank you for reminding us of your goodness through the stars in the sky and the faith of a child. May our faith shine like glitter today for your glory. Amen.
