Follow Jesus - Take comfort in his light

John 8:12
Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

That verse is something that my children can learn now, tonight! The post below shows how I've taught Sam to face his fears by being brave and using light to see what is really there. Light shown on an object highlights what we could not see before. Jesus is that light for our lives! He shows us what we may not have seen before, and if we keep him close he will keep that light bright.

Note:
Those reading my blog, know that I may interpret scripture differently than you. I am not a pastor or priest who has committed their entire life to learning and interpreting scripture. Would take my word on how to perform a surgery? I am new on this journey. I have in the past asked my pastor to interpret things on my blog that I have posted, in order to not lead a person astray. But I can't ask him to read every blog post I feel the need to post. That being said, if anyone thinks that I am interpreting the word of God wrong. It is your job as a christian to help me along my journey. I am open minded, and will post your comments for everyone to see. Who knows you may shine your light on me.

Who's afraid of the dark?? Not Sam!

Soon Sam will no longer be afraid of the dark. We're playing a new game at night. A very important game because soon he will be sleeping in his own bed, just like his siblings.

Name that Scary, Creepy, Ghostly thing

Instructions: Lights are turned out to create a dark environment. Player #1 picks out an object in the room he believes is Scary, Creepy, or Ghostly. Player #2 then guesses what that object is. Lights are turned on to reveal what the object was.

Objective: Be the first player to correctly guess 3 times in a row what item(s) the other player points out as Scary, Creepy, or Ghostly in the dark.

Example:

Player #1 - Points out something scary in the dark room - "Over there in the corner, it looks like two scary eyes staring at me!" 

Player #2 - "I guess it is the spots on the dalmatian stuffed animal that I put over there earlier today."

Next player #1 has to be brave and go turn the lights on. Once the light come on it will reveal what the scary sight really was. Repeat with player #2 pointing out something scary with the light off and player #1 guessing. First player to get 3 in a row wins!
