It Doesn't Take A Superhero Costume to Know Who You Are or Does It? When my grandson, Cooper, was little, he enjoyed running around in his superhero costume. He thought he was unknown to all. Being in the 3-foot-something crowd, he didn’t realize that his natural person was made clear by his size, character, and voice. He perceived his physical self as being unseen—invisible—rather than being see-able. We can teach children about God’s visibility when cute little moments happen. In this case, it was appropriate to mention something about the superheroes of the Bible. And touch on how they displayed God’s character and love, as well as His visibility. When the grands were toddlers, I took nature walks with them right in our backyard. They found it an exciting place to explore. I found they enjoyed smelling pretty flowers and spotting tweeting birds in the trees. We picked up pine cones and spread them with peanut butter to hang in the trees as bird feeders (what a yummy mess). We spread a blanket under a shade tree and watched bugs crawl on to join us. I found when you add a juice box and peanut butter and jelly sandwich into the mix, you’ve got yourself a party! Whether talking about Bible heroes or enjoying the backyard, it’s a joy to lift our children higher so they, too, can see our very visible God. Verse of the Month: Romans 1:20 ESV “For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.”
