Stories with Esther & Poppy for GIGI Kids

• Sophia and the Lost Pearls

  Hey GIGI kids, Today we have a story that is inspired by the parables of Jesus - you can find it in your Bibles in Matthew 13:45-46   "My pearl necklace!" Sophia cried. "I can't find it! It was in my dress-up box this morning, and now it's just NOT!" "Take a deep breath," said Mum, "and let's have a look." She led the way back down the hall, with a sniffly Sophia following her.  "Now," said Mum, when they were back in Sophia's room. "Where did you last have it?"  Sophia thought hard.  "Well, I was pretending that I was a big lion this morning, and the couch was my den. Remember, I pulled all the cushions off the couch to make my den cozy?"  "I remember," Mum said dryly. "What about after that?"  "After you made me put my den away, I was an eagle soaring through the sky! And I was jumping off the table, only you told me to stop that too, so then, I was a teensy little worm. Or a caterpillar. I don't really remember, but I was wriggling my way under the piano and—"  Sophia gasped. What happened next?

• Elisha and the Invisible Army

  Hey GIGI kids, Today we have an amazing Bible story for you called "Elisha and the Invisible Army." You can find this story in your Bible in 2 Kings 6:8-23.   Night passed without a sound. But very early in the morning, Elisha's servant got up and went outside—and got the fright of his life. There were soldiers and horses and chariots everywhere!  "Elisha!" gasped the servant, running back inside. "Come, look!" Elisha calmly went to look at the troops surrounding the city. He didn't seem upset at all! "Oh, Master, what will we do now?" the young servant cried. Elisha turned to his servant. "Don't be afraid," he told his servant. "There are many more on our side than on the side of the Arameans." Then Elisha prayed. Dear God, open the eyes of my servant and let him see. And God opened the eyes of the servant—can you guess what he saw?   What happened next?

• Lost in the Forest

  "It's getting dark," said Kate, looking up at the sky. "It'll be night soon. Should we try to come back the way we came?" "I don't think so," said Naomi. "We might somehow end up deeper in the forest. I think we'd better just sit here and hope someone comes to look for us." The girls slowly moved over to the tree stump and dropped their pinecones and berries. The castle didn't seem so important anymore. Suddenly, there was a snap of twigs ahead of them. "What-what was that?" Kate stammered. "I don't know," Naomi whispered. Now, her heart was beating really fast. Oh, why didn't I listen to Sophie and my parents? She thought. Now we're lost in the forest, and something might be coming to eat us for dinner! "I'm scared," Kate said, tears beginning to fill her eyes.  "Me too," said Naomi. "We shouldn't have disobeyed Sophie. All we can do now is pray." "Let's do that, please," Kate begged.  As the sun slowly sank lower over the tree line, the girls bowed their heads and prayed for someone to come and find them, also asking forgiveness for not listening to their parents and leader.....

• The Miracles of Jesus: 4 Friends & a hole in the Roof

  Today's story is found in Mark 2:1–12 "Jesus heals a paralysed man"                               ________________________________________________ Picking his way carefully across the roof, Caleb stopped where he thought the middle of the house would be. Kneeling down, he began to pull at the tiles of the roof, trying to lift them off. Dirt caked under his fingernails as he dug, and the midday sun was hot against his back. His arm was getting really sore, but he forced himself to keep going, knowing Asher was down below, just waiting for his chance to see…  POP!  A tile lifted up, and Caleb was so surprised it took him a moment to register his thoughts. It worked! He thought to himself gleefully, as he pulled the rest of the tile off the roof. Once the tile had been taken off, through the small square, he could see into the house.  Walking quickly but carefully back to the edge of the roof, Caleb waved his arms to get Levi and Hannah's attention..... What happened next? To find out, find a comfortable spot and listen to the episode. _________________________________________________________________________________ Story by: Maritza Brunt READ STORY ON THE BLOG VISIT OUR WEBSITE SHOP OUR BOOKS   Shop our audiobooks Special effect editing: James Wagner  music credit: http://www.purple-planet.com/  Email us: [email protected] Write to us: GIGI KIDS STORIES PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt Queensland Australia 4122

• The Rotten Brown Apple: Gossip

  Today's story is about a rotten apple - but not only a rotten apple but about gossip as well.                               ________________________________________________ Did you hear about Anya?" Ruth looked up from her reading book to see her friend Eliza next to her.  "What did you say?" Ruth asked.  "Shh! Keep your voice down!" Eliza whispered. "I asked if you'd heard about what Anya did." "No? What happened?" Ruth asked.  "She cheated on the Bible quiz we had before lunch!" Eliza hissed. Ruth was shocked. She didn't know Anya very well, but she knew Anya was one of the smartest girls in their class, and she was especially good at knowing a lot of things from the Bible. Why would she need to cheat?  "Are you sure?" Ruth asked slowly.  "I'm positive!" Eliza said. "William saw her, and he told Kalia, and she told Max, and he told Amy, and she told me."  Ruth frowned. That seemed like a very long way of hearing something.  "I just can't imagine Anya doing something like this," she said.  Just then, their friend Ella dropped into the seat next to Ruth.  "Can't imagine what?" she asked.  "Anya cheated on the Bible quiz!" Eliza whispered to her.  "No way!" Ella exclaimed.  "Shhh!" Ruth hushed both of them. "We don't know that for sure, and I don't want Anya to hear you talking about her."  What happens next? Tune in to find out. _________________________________________________________________________________ Story by: Maritza Brunt Read story on the blog VISIT OUR WEBSITE SHOP OUR BOOKS   Shop our audiobooks Special effect editing: James Wagner  music credit: http://www.purple-planet.com/  Email us: [email protected] Write to us: GIGI KIDS STORIES PO BOX 6505 Upper Mt Gravatt Queensland Australia 4122
