![]() MIRACLES: Discussion points for kids Use any part of this Caterpillar MIRACLE information you find useful and feel free to change the language for your age group. 1. It is hard to explain the miracles Jesus did. It is hard to understand God's miracles. 2. That's part of it being a miracle - NOT being able to explain it in any ordinary way! (If it was easy to explain it wouldn't be a miracle!) 3. God shows us something of a miracle every summer. 4. God made the caterpillar, who crawls along branches nibbling on leaves. 5. God has the caterpillar make a cocoon - a cozy place to sleep and change in. It's like a warm blanket or sleeping bag! Some people imagine that is what it is like when our bodies die. 6. Inside the Cocoon, God does the miracle and changes the caterpillar into a beautiful butterfly. 7. God promises us we will live again in a new way too after we die. |
