Using our Bibles as a Road Map
"Grandma, since we won’t be here anymore on Wednesdays, why can’t we have a Bible Study today?" pleaded Tori. "Please, Grandma?" echoed Miranda. "Yeah, Grandma. You always said the more we look up scripture, the more familiar we become with the Bible," added Taylor. "Remember what Grandpa told us? If we just carry our Bible and don’t open it and read it, that’s like never taking the road map out of the car pocket to get directions," reminded Robert. "That’s why Mama always gets lost when we go on vacation," laughed Ricky. "Sometimes we just go in circles and wind up where we started." At that Grandma chuckled, "Well, we certainly don’t want to go in circles. That’s such a waste of time. O.K.! Travelers, get your road maps out," she instructed as she smiled at the little troop. "What’s one of the first things Daddy does before starting out on a trip?" Grandma asked Ricky. "He fills the tank with gas," answered Ricky. "What does the gas do, Robert?" she questioned. "It keeps the car moving," he answered. Phillip couldn’t contain his excitement as he stated, "Without gas the car won’t move. Without the Word, neither will we." "Turn to II Timothy 3:14-15, while Phillip reads to us," Grandma directed. All the children listened as Phillip read, "But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom, thou hast learned them; "And from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus." Grandma instructed Robert to read verse 16. "All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:" read Robert almost in one breath. Taylor spoke up excitedly, "Daddy always checks the oil, Grandma!" "That’s a good observation, Taylor. Let’s turn our Bibles to Matthew 25," said Grandma. As the children took turns reading verses 1-12, they learned about the five foolish virgins whose lamps had gone out because they had no oil. The five wise virgins had oil in their lamps. Needless to say, the five foolish virgins couldn’t go out at midnight to meet the bridegroom. Miranda squealed, "Better check the water, too, Grandma!" "Great, Miranda," exclaimed Grandma. "Let’s turn to Isaiah 12:3." Ricky got lost in the excitement and without being told, started reading, "Therefore with joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation." "What do you and Mama do while Daddy’s getting the car ready?" Grandma asked Miranda. "We pack our suitcases and prepare snacks to eat on the way," replied Miranda. "Mama packing the needed items is like a teacher preparing to help her students to put on the whole armour of God," explained Grandma. "And the snacks are like spiritual food!" yelled Ricky. "Where’s our scripture about the armour of God?" asked Tori. Grandma directed them to Ephesians 6:11-17. After the scripture had been read, Grandma reread verse 13, "Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand." "O.K. What do we want to take with us?" prodded Grandma. "Truth!" yelled Miranda. "The breast plate of righteousness," replied Phillip. "The preparation of the gospel of peace," added Taylor. "We also need the shield of faith, Grandma," said Tori. Ricky pointed to his head, as he yelled out, "The helmet of salvation!" "We can’t forget the sword of the spirit, which is the word of God," reminded Robert. "After we travel so far, Daddy has Mama to start looking for a rest area," announced Tori. "Then I guess we should check in at Matthew 11:28," suggested Grandma. "I’ve found it, Grandma. May I read it?" asked Tori. "You may read, but first let the others find it, so they can follow you," replied Grandma. Finally, Tori began reading. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest." "After we’ve rested and freshened up, what should we do?" asked Grandma. "We need to refuel!" shouted Phillip. "That means get back in the Word," he explained. Grandma said, "When we finally reach our destination, I hope we can truthfully say as Paul did, ‘I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." She paused for a second and continued. "Tonight, why don’t you think about where your destination is and what you’ll find when you get there. We can share our findings tomorrow." As the children started home that afternoon, Grandma suggested they read Revelation 21.

commentswhy didn't you just copy the story from the bible onto the website? how is this creative writing? what you may consider doing in revision is rewriting the same story but with miranda and her brother acting in the way of the bible story. in other words what was significant about this story that made you write about it, right now it could have been any story out of any religious book.

commentsI don't know what age group you are trying to reach so it makes it really hard to rate. I think the story is ok for little children. To appeal to older children or young adults it needs more detail, more about the feelings of how it felt to wear the colored clothing and how they think Joseph must have felt. How that Joseph in his time was probably proud of his coat. How things were different then and how time changes things, but God never changes and still works through people.
