Romans 8:16 For his Holy Spirit speaks to us deep in our hearts and tells us that we are God's children. (But if you ask Pearl, it is the Holy Bird who speaks deep in our hearts! Hehe!)
One of the most encouraging things I learned when beginning to pray for sick and wounded kids all over the world and all around me was this: John 5:19 "Jesus replied, "I assure you, the Son can do nothing by himself. He does only what he sees the Father doing. Whatever the Father does, the Son also does."
I want the kids to understand that Jesus didn't just do all the miracles he did because he's God, but because His father gave him the power to do them as a human just like us. That means we get Daddy God's power to do the things Jesus did too!
So we jumped in the sea of Galilee(picture silky blue sashes all over the floor). And we imagined ourselves right there with Jesus as John dunked him under the clear blue and lifted him up. We watched as the "Holy Bird" (handmade bird stuffed beauty) came down on each one of us. We listened as Daddy God called us by name to say, "You are my much loved child and I am so pleased with you!"
Thank you Holy Spirit for coming on us every day to tell us we're God's kids!
