Lessons from a Talking Donkey


"Miss Barbara, donkeys don't talk.... well, they go brraayy." I assured the kindergartener, "Normally, Gunner, animals don't talk, but the Bible says this one did."
This week's Junior Church was a blast! The boys really got into the story, one kind of "jumped in" to the story and played the part of the death angel for me. (I think he just wanted to hold the sword.) And of course, all of the boys wanted to ride Balaam's donkey.When we began to talk about what Balaam should have done, and what Christians are expected to act like, my boys really came alive. They loved filling in the blanks of our little chart, and even asked for a copy when we were done. We talked about what to say instead of swearing when you're hurt or surprised. So precious to see these boys grow and learn!
