Rain and Sunshine

Once again Jesus spoke to the people. This time he said, “I am the light for the world! Follow me, and you won’t be walking in the dark. You will have the light that gives life.”

John 8:12 (CEV)

When it’s cloudy and rainy outside, does it make you feel gloomy? Do you get sad when you’re stuck inside your house and can’t run outside to play? These feelings can come sometimes, but Jesus can help you get through them.

No matter what the weather is, remember that there is someone who cares about your feelings. His name is Jesus! He came to be the light for the world, like he said in today’s Bible verse. This means he came to bring us all real life and hope.

Jesus can help us see the good in things, even in rainy days. We need the rain to water the plants and trees and fill our lakes and rivers. And those days are great for playing games or reading books inside. What fun!

We can talk to Jesus when we’re having bad days. We can look for all the good things he gives to us, like the sun and the rain, and thank him for being with us. We can feel his love like a hug. And we can thank him when the good times come.

The spade foot toad lives underground most of the year until it rains. Then it comes out to hop around!
