Tuesday Puppet Crew -- The Kids Continue to Pull the Strings to Our Hearts

 

The tunes of the songs during the puppet show are familiar. They’re from our childhood. “The B-I-B-L-E,” “This Little Light of Mine,” “I'm in the Lord’s Army.” But the words are in Spanish. It’s fun to see the beginnings of faith. The wonder in the telling of the old, old stories as much of these stories as you can tell to small children with puppets. David doesn’t sever Goliath’s head in victory. The puppet just let’s his head fall back in death. We simplify the story to make it palatable and understandable for the child’s mind. It makes you wonder how much God has simplified the story of our salvation and the working of God’s grace? How much has He dumbed it down for our benefit? And how wondrous will be that day when we are able to fully perceive and appreciate the full measure and depth of his love for us. For now we are children and hold on to the stories crafted for our earthly understanding. He plays out the stories for our benefit much as we play out the stories today and this week for the hope and benefit of these children. We pray the seeds that are planted this week, take root and grow toward eternity. Lord knows.  

David defeats Goliath.
