    Pilly: The Courageous Hopper

    December 27, 2022 - By 

    Once upon a time, there was a little courageous grasshopper in a kingdom full of grass. He was green and yellow and very small. Everyone called him “Pilly” because he was never scared to try new things.

    Pilly loved playing with his friends in the field during the evenings. Whenever they played ball, Pilly would happily jump up the tall grass to find the ball.

    One day, after a game, Pilly fell from a really tall piece of grass and hurt his three left legs. His friends felt really sorry for him because he couldn’t move anymore.

    Pilly’s friends quickly went to get his mom and dad. The whole neighborhood came to see what happened.

    They were all surprised because Pilly was usually a happy hopper. They carefully carried him to the nearest hospital to get help.

    What had happened to Pilly?

    Dr. Jones checked Pilly quickly and looked sad when he talked. He said Pilly’s tough outer covering, called an exoskeleton, was broken. This covering keeps Pilly’s insides safe.

    Pilly also had some cracks in his three left legs.

    Word about Pilly’s condition spread fast in the grassy kingdom. Everyone hoped and prayed that Pilly would get better soon.

    Lying on the bed helpless and worried that he would never play again, Pilly’s mother kept encouraging him.

    She read Psalm 31:24, “Be strong and take heart, all you who hope in the Lord,” and Isaiah 41: 10, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” to him every morning.

    After waiting for two months, Pilly got all better and could leave the hospital.

    All his neighbors and friends came to see him at his house. Some of them worried that Pilly might be sad and not hop around like before.

    But guess what? After just two weeks of resting, Pilly was back in the field, full of energy!

    He played with his friends and jumped high to catch the ball, just like he used to. It was a big surprise for everyone to see Pilly so happy and active again.

    Why was Pilly still courageous?

    After a game, Pilly’s best friends, all six of them, asked him why he was still so brave. Pilly smiled and shared a story with them.

    He said, “When I was a little baby, my mom used to read a special verse from the Bible to me. It’s from Joshua 1:9, and it goes like this: ‘Be strong and courageous. Do not be scared, for the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.’

    This verse taught me that life brings challenges, but I need to be brave because God is always with me. It’s believing in God that gives me courage. You can try it too, and you’ll see!”

    About a month later, Pilly noticed something interesting. His friends were taking turns to get the ball during their games.

    Pilly was sure they were being brave, just like he talked about. They must have remembered the verse and felt stronger because of it.

    Creation Days

    November 12, 2022 - By 

    Story based on Genesis 1 about the creation days

    Long, long ago, even before the world’s story began, there was God. He’s super wise and super strong. He made everything – the sky, the stars, the land, and the seas. He’s like the biggest artist ever!

    God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are the Trinity. Together, they decided to make our world. They took seven days, like a big creative adventure!

    First, on Monday, they made night and day. Nighttime for dreams and sleep, daytime for fun and learning.

    Then, on Tuesday, they made the sky. It’s like a cozy blanket for the Earth, so it’s never too cold or too hot.

    Wednesday was all about the seas and land. They gave us oceans to swim in and land to grow yummy food.

    On Thursday, they made the sun, moon, and stars. These twinkly friends help us know when it’s day or night, and when it’s time for special moments.

    Friday was animal day! Fish and birds splashed into the seas and skies. God loves colorful fish and birds that sing.

    Saturday was extra special. Land animals came to life, like furry friends and cuddly creatures. And guess what? God made people too! Children with big hearts to love and enjoy everything.

    Finally, Sunday came. God looked at everything and thought, “Wow, that’s good!” He took a rest and smiled, knowing it was a fantastic week of creating.

    And that’s how our wonderful world was made by God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit, with lots of love and imagination!

    Creation days story lesson

    God is the one who made all the amazing things we can see around us on Earth. He’s not just any artist – He’s our Creator, the one who designed everything.

    Those seven days when God was creating? They’re like stories that show us how powerful He is and how He can transform our lives if we trust in Him.

    This story also teaches children about the days of the week.

    Principal Martin’s Steadfast Rule

    November 3, 2022 - By 

    At Prosper Secondary School, Principal Martin had a special message for the students every morning during devotion. He would say, “If you want to do well and achieve great things, you must be steadfast in your studies.” Many students didn’t know exactly what “steadfast” meant, but they liked how Principal Martin smiled when he said it.

    All the teachers at the school were friendly and playful, making the students happy to come to class. Parents also had good things to say about the school.

    One day, a curious student named Ruth, who was in the second year of school, wanted to understand the word “steadfast” and why Principal Martin talked about it so much.

    “What does steadfast mean?” she wondered.

    During lunch break, after she finished eating, Ruth went to Principal Martin’s office. He was surprised to see her but invited her in and offered her a seat. In a quiet voice, Ruth asked her question.

    Principal Martin listened carefully and then smiled. “Ruth, that’s a great question. Steadfast means believing in the truth of God’s Word more than anything else.”

    Ruth nodded, feeling like she understood a bit better. But then she asked, “How long do I need to be steadfast?”

    Principal Martin answered, “Being steadfast means staying strong in your faith and trust in God’s Word no matter what happens. It’s something you practice every day, and over time, you become really good at it.”

    “Why do you tell us to be steadfast every day?” Ruth asked her final question.

    With his kind smile, Principal Martin replied, “It’s my job to teach you about God’s love and show you how to live it out. The Bible says in Hebrews 3:14, ‘If we continue to believe in God’s truth until the end, we will share in Christ.’ So, I remind you every day to help you remember that God wants us to stay strong and faithful, even when things are tough.”

    He continued, “Life can have challenges, like your exams, but if you work hard and stay steadfast, you’ll see success. Steadfast means learning from your books and the Bible every day and trusting that God will help you succeed.”

    Ruth was happy with the answers Principal Martin gave her. She thanked him and decided to follow his advice. She promised herself that she would study her books and read her Bible every day, no matter what.

    Years later, when Ruth was all grown up, she met Principal Martin again at the mall in their town. They hugged and talked about old times. Ruth shared how she had followed his advice and saw God’s blessings in her life.

    Now, Ruth was a music teacher at a school and encouraged her students to be steadfast too. She bought lunch for Principal Martin and told him all about her success as a musician who spread God’s message through her songs.

    Principal Martin was really happy and thanked God for Ruth’s success. He was glad she had listened to his teachings and seen the good results of being steadfast.

    Lesson: God rewards steadfastness because He is steadfast.

    Source of the story: 1 Corinthians 15:58 “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord.“

    A Special Lesson from the Biology Teacher

    October 18, 2022 - By 

    Every Tuesday at school, the Biology teacher had a special class where she taught new things to his students. She was always happy and made the class exciting.

    Because of her cheerful attitude, everyone enjoyed her lessons and wanted to learn more. They were also excited to find out what she would teach them next.

    The Director of the Handing School was very proud of all the teachers, and he often said good things about them.

    But what made the Biology teacher different?

    He loved teaching because he felt it was something she was meant to do. She believed that her job was a gift from God, so she did it with all his heart.

    One day, she started the class by talking about what he thought a human being was. She said a person is like a spirit living in a body. The spirit comes from God, and the body is the physical part that we can see and touch.

    During break time, some curious students went to the teacher to ask more questions about the mind.

    What did the biology teacher day?

    “What is the mind?” they asked.

    The teacher smiled and said, “The mind is like the part of you that helps you think, feel, and understand the world around you.”

    She told them to read a Bible verse, Philippians 2:5, which says, “Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.”

    Then, the students asked why they should have the mind of Christ and not their own minds.

    The teacher replied, using another verse from the Bible, 1 Corinthians 2:16, “We have the mind of Christ.”

    She explained, “We need the mind of Christ to think and live the right way. We can’t do that unless our minds are focused on God’s words.”

    The students were curious and wanted to know more.

    “How can we get the mind of Christ?” one of them asked.

    The teacher smiled and opened his Bible to Romans 12:2. They all read together, “Don’t be like everyone else, but let God change the way you think. Then you will know what God wants you to do.”

    After learning this, the students were excited. They talked about how they could study the Bible more and think like God in everything they did.

    And so, they left the teacher’s room with new ideas in their minds and a desire to live like God wants them to.

    Lesson: We get the mind of Christ when we study the Bible every day and pray to God.

    Do Unto Others

    October 5, 2022 - By 

    Do you do unto others what you want them to do to you?


    Just two miles away from the dense Tango forest, there was a cozy little village where a young couple lived. They were happy farmers who loved their work. Every morning, they cheerfully headed to their farms, where they tended to their plants.

    Some days, they would clear out the overgrown herbs, and on other days, they would plant new seeds. Most of the time, they would gently water the plants and trim their leaves. In this village, the weather was unpredictable – some years were dry, while others were fruitful.

    Unlike most people who only worked during the fertile seasons, this couple worked hard all year round, being careful during the tough times. Their secret was simple: they prayed to God every day for their crops. They also stored some of their harvest in a small barn behind their house, always prepared for the changing seasons.

    One year, in March, the rain didn’t fall as expected, causing worries about a poor harvest. By June, the dryness continued, and crops weren’t growing well. Hunger spread, and people fell ill and sad.

    However, the young couple remained strong. They found guidance in their daily Bible reading, where they read Philippians 2:4: “Let each of you look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others.” Inspired by this, they decided to share some of the food they had stored with their neighbors.

    Their kind action brought relief to the village. Others joined them, and the community worked together to support each other. The couple’s compassion and faith not only helped them survive, but also helped their entire village stay strong in the face of adversity.

     Our feelings will differ daily, but we share because we care for and love others. God will always provide.

    Lesson: Let us help others when we can. They might help us too someday.

    Nini’s Fear Feelings

    September 19, 2022 - By 


    Meet Nini, a bright young girl who starts her mornings with cheerful greetings to her family. When she steps outside to feel the morning sun, she can’t help but smile and thank God for another day. However, she had secret fear feelings.

    But this wasn’t always the case. Just two years ago, Nini was quite different. She used to be unhappy and easily upset over small things. Even mornings couldn’t bring her joy – she often felt sad and moody. If she made a mistake or didn’t do well on a test, she would carry that disappointment and guilt throughout the week.

    Nini’s parents tried to make her happy by giving her gifts, but they didn’t seem to work. Despite their compliments and reminders of her value, she still felt unattractive and unsatisfied.

    Even though she went on picnics with her family and friends, like to the beach or the park, she struggled to relax and enjoy the fun.

    One Friday evening, Nini’s mom decided to talk with her about God’s words, delving deeper than their usual daily devotion. They discussed why Nini’s fear feelings were affecting her life so much.

    Nini confessed her fear to her mom – fear of disappointing others and making mistakes in life. Her mom understood and shared words of comfort from the Bible. They read Isaiah 41:10 together: “Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”

    They also read 2 Timothy 1:7: “For God gave us a spirit not of fear but of power and love and self-control.” These verses helped Nini realize that she didn’t have to live in fear.

    Nini, who had kept her fear feelings inside for years, finally opened up to her mom that day. She was ready to make a change in her life. They read Proverbs 3:5-6, which advised to trust in the Lord and not rely solely on one’s understanding. This brought a sense of peace to Nini as they prayed together.

    From that moment on, Nini chose gratitude over worry. She decided to be thankful to God for everything and stopped being anxious about making mistakes in the future. She became a joyful girl, using the verses they had read to pray whenever she felt afraid.

    Her transformation was evident, and her family was delighted to see the positive change in Nini. With newfound faith and strength, Nini faced life with a joyful heart, no longer held back by fear.

    Lesson: Everyone has feelings, but we all need to control them.

    Peter and his family’s transport modes

    September 2, 2022 - By 

    During the summer, my family and I go on trips. We explore places both in our country and sometimes in other countries. I love spending time with my family and discovering new places with different transport modes.

    Before we start our journey, I hear my parents discussing how we should travel. Sometimes, my mom suggests taking a flight because it’s fast and safe. My dad doesn’t always agree since he thinks it can be expensive.

    Other times, my dad prefers taking the bus. He says it’s cheaper and less stressful. Plus, he likes that we can stop at different places and explore the city along the way.

    I personally enjoy traveling by train, especially the subway. It’s affordable and reliable. The underground subway is well-organized and safe. When we take the express train, it’s so fast and comfortable, especially in the VIP section.

    Which other transport modes did Peter’s family use?

    Now that my grandparents are older, they prefer traveling by car. They think it’s a time-saving and secure option. My grandma likes the freedom of stopping wherever she wants to rest or eat. My grandpa admits that driving for long hours can be tiring, but he likes having control over when he starts his trips.

    On the other hand, my uncle Paul is a fan of traveling by ship or boat. He says it’s safe and smooth, and he enjoys being on the water. However, he mentioned that bad weather can sometimes cause delays. When I told him I want to try traveling in a canoe on a lake, he promised to take me to a beach, so I could experience it.

    My older brother, Moses, prefers using his motorbike for shorter trips. He finds it easier to park, and it’s more fuel-efficient. He also likes that it’s faster and more affordable to maintain.

    My sister likes using tuk-tuks when we’re in the city. They’re like motorized tricycles and can maneuver through traffic easily. They’re cheaper than taxis, but I don’t like using them when it’s raining since they’re not completely covered.

    Camp Dumpy: Teacher Koki’s Chore lesson

    August 4, 2022 - By 

    Day 1 in Camp Dumpy


    “Hello, everyone! Welcome to Camp Dumpy,” teacher Koki greeted.

    “We’re really glad you’re here. We’ll be having breakfast soon, but first, I want to teach you about chores.”

    “Doing chores at home helps you learn important things:

    • Feeling good about yourself.
    • Wanting to be part of family activities.
    • Showing your parents that you respect them.
    • Learning how to plan things.
    • Working well with others as a team.”

    “Teacher Koki, how do we learn these things?” asked Amelia.

    “That’s a great question, Amelia,” Teacher Koki replied. “You can learn these skills by doing some tasks like:

    1. Folding and putting away your clothes.
    2. Helping with the dishes after they’re washed.
    3. Taking out the trash and putting recyclables in the right bins.
    4. Cleaning the bathroom sometimes, maybe on weekends.
    5. Making your own snacks or cooking lunch with your mom.
    6. Getting ready for school by packing up your books and picking out your clothes.”

    “So, my friends, I encourage you to talk to your parents about how you can help at home. And if you’re already doing some of these things, great job! We all need to help out around the house every day.”

    “Now, let’s go for a hike in the camp. We’ll talk more tomorrow morning.”

    This story is a guide for teenagers.

    Story source

    Getting children into the habit of pitching in around the home can begin as young as age two, by having them put away their toys when they’re done playing with them. By age twelve, there are few household tasks a teenager shouldn’t be expected to master. And once they earn their driver’s license, it is appropriate to assign them errands such as going to the grocery store or picking up the dry cleaning. Go to this link for more chores.
