something to tell the kids

Wednesday January 28th, Jonah 1: 10 Then GOD spoke to the fish, and it vomited up Jonah on the seashore. 1 Next, GOD spoke to Jonah a second time: 2 "Up on your feet and on your way to the big city of Nineveh! Preach to them. They're in a bad way and I can't ignore it any longer." 3 This time Jonah started off straight for Nineveh, obeying GOD's orders to the letter. Sometimes it takes an experience we can’t forget. Some hear the still small voice of God, others require a 2x4 upside the head. It might take a lifetime, but eventually everyone goes in the direction God wants us to go. Sometimes these unforgettable experiences are thrust upon us as a gift. But most often we have a tendency to create some interesting predicaments for ourselves. God works through them also. If we would just do what God wants us to do life would be a lot easier. But as we look back over our life, we see that God can even take our detours and turn them into ministry and a good story. When you retell it, make sure the fish stays the same size as the original.
