Frogs Everywhere!

Frogs Everywhere!

 

 

Sam was all boy.  He liked doing what all eight year old boys liked to do.  One of the things that Sam really liked to do was to watch, and sometimes catch some of God’s outdoor creatures; like bugs and frogs.

One day, Sam was playing outside, when he saw a BIG bull frog sitting on one of the big flat rocks that lined his mom’s flower bed. Well after a little bit of a chase through the backyard, Sam finally caught the BIG bull frog, and he ran into the house carrying the BIG, fat bull frog with both hands.

“Mom, come quick, look what I got!”  Sam yelled.  His mom came into the kitchen.  “Oh Sam, that’s a real beauty.  What are you going to name him?”  She asked. 

“I think I’ll call him Oscar!  Sam replied. 

“That’s a good name, you know Sam, Oscar really belongs outside, where he can eat the flies whenever he wants, and he’ll live longer outside, and you can see him when you go out to play.”  Mom said.

Sam thought about it and decided that Mom was right.  So he took Oscar back outside and let him go.   

“You know Sam, Oscar reminds me of a Bible story.   Once a long time ago, God told a man named Moses to go to the King of Egypt and tell him to let the people of Israel go, you see they were the king’s slaves, and God wanted them to be able to worship Him. 

So Moses went to the king, but the king said, “NO!”  So God sent hundreds and hundreds of frogs all over Egypt.  There were BIG frogs, MEDIUM frogs, and LITTLE frogs. 

There were frogs swinging on lamps in the air.  There were frogs on the pillows and under the beds, on their heads, and in their hair, they were EVERYWHERE!  In their clothes and sitting on their nose.  They were on the tables and in the chairs, they were EVERYWHERE. And NEVER once missed a meal, I declare they were EVERYWHERE!”

But the king would not give in and let the people go.  So Moses went away doing the ONLY thing he could do.  He F-ully, R-elied on God!

“Wow!  That was really a neat story, Mom.” Sam said.

“Yes Sam, and it actually happened. “ Mom replied.

“What happened to the people of Israel?”  Sam asked.

“Well, I guess you could say God rescued them from the king.  So Sam, whenever you have a problem or need help you can do like Moses and the people of Israel:

Fully

Rely

On

God!  Mom said with a smile.
