Hey gang! This is my first ever blog for kids”! Hope you like it! Rachel
and I are very excited to be able to sing for you guys and lead you in songs
that will help you get excited about Jesus! But we want to do more, so we
created the Kidz Corner for you on this web site. We hope that Kidz Corner
will keep you coming back to our web site so that we can share our hearts
with you, find out what's on your mind, give you a little help along your
kids journey and have a little fun!
You'l find all kinds of cool stuff on the Kidz Corner page, and we plan
to have even more later! As you read this blog, you will learn some stuff
that will help you be better, stronger kids for the King. You can also
check out our surveys for kids, ask questions that Rachel and I can help
you with, vote on our polls, and more! I'l try to update my blog at least
once a month so you can read new stuff, take new polls, etc. So have fun
and let us know what you think!
Cya here, there, or in the air!
Uncle Charlie
To be updated soon!
This link on the Kidz Corner page will allow you to take our monthly poll
questions and see how the poll shapes up! It will be interesting to see
what gets the most votes each month! Right now we are focusing on some
of your favorite Uncle Charlie and Rachel songs. Please vote only once!
In this section, we will attempt to write a short kids devotion that teaches
from one or more of our songs. We'll ask you to listen to a particular
song if you have it handy, then do the devotion. You can even print the
devotion off and do it close to your CD player, or somewhere where you
can wear your walkman, or wherever you want! This is our way of helping
you apply what the songs teach! Not only that, it will help you to develop
a time alone with God, which is the most important thing to help you grow
to be a strong Christian! Let us know what you think of our Devotions
in Motion”! Here's our very first one below!
Be a Bright Light!
If you have the Superhero CD, listen to the All Star song. The words are
inside the CD cover so you can read along or sing along. (alternate song:
His love Goes On Forever on the Say Hey CD.)
Wow! Can believe summer is already over and it's already time to go back
to school! Time flies when we're goofin' off! I wonder what you like best
about going back to school? Is it getting a new teacher? Making new friends?
Getting lots of homework or eating that good ol cafeteria food? (haha!)
I'd like to share a few thoughts with you that may help you through your
school experience this year. Is that cool? Good! Here we go!
If I were to ask you what your purpose for going to school?”, most of you
would probably say something like to get an education...duhhh, Charlie!
Yes, that's very important and we should all do our very best to learn
and be good students.
But have you ever stopped to think that there may be more to going to
school that just getting all those smarts”? Think about this: God wants
you to be a shining light for Him! You see, there are lots and lots of
students in your classes and in your school that have never gone to church
or never heard about the good news that Jesus loves them. Some may come
from families that don't talk about God or church and stuff like that.
The Bible says that many people live in darkness because they do not
understand about Jesus. It's like trying to find your way in a dark room
when the electricity has gone out. Pretty hard to get around, huh? You
would need something like a flashlight or a candle so you can find your
way around. Well, guess what? Jesus wants YOU to be a light for Him, so
that others who walk in spiritual darkness can know the way to heaven!
Wow, isn't that cool? God actually wants to use YOU just like a flashlight!
What an honor!
By your words and your actions, you can be a light that shows the way
to many other children at your school who are lost in the dark! So every
day when you wake up, ask God how He can use you that day to be a shining
light for Him. You'll be surprised how your whole attitude about school
will change when you see a higher purpose” for going to school!
Here's some homework for you! (Oh boy, more homework!)
1. Look up Matthew 5:14-16 in your Bible and see what God has to say about
being a shining light. You might want to use a highlighter or colored
pencil and mark those verses so they will be easy to find next time.
2. Pray and ask God to show you some different ways that you can be a
shining light for Him this year in school. Then write those things down
on a piece of paper or a notebook as you think of them. (Example: pray
for your food, do kind deeds for people, invite some friends to church)
3. Every day before you go to school, pray that God will help you do at
least one of those things on your list. You will be surprised how school
can be so exciting!
