Hello friends, welcome to todays daily bible verse and story. On the Daily with Dean is a short inspirational devotional that I hope inspires you and sparks something in your soul.
So over the weekend I went to the shop with the kids and to the new Continental Butchery down in Main Road and it’s really really beautiful and picked up one or two pieces of meat for for Braai Day (Heritage Day here in South Africa) and right at the end of the till uh all the sweets in the world that you can imagine. I mean it’s like a parent’s trap, I mean it’s a nightmare to try and convince the kids not to take the biggest sweet and candy that they can see, so I had to know jump in there and kind of try and see what I can get for the kids and really try and see what’s going to work best for them and we landed on candy canes you know those classic Christmas candy canes and the the little upside you know
in and I give both of them their candy
canes and the joy is a massive these
kids are off the chain and like can’t
contain the amount of excitement and joy
that these kids are sitting with right
now but if you’ve seen those candy canes
they’re actually a little bit like the
there’s a very hard plastic that is
around the the candy cane that kind of
almost holds and protects and it’s the
packaging of the candy cane
and Daniel kind of bites into it and
quite easily rips through it and he get
going and eventually peels the whole
thing off and tears the whole thing off
for now he’s enjoying this uh this candy
cane there was a a passion that kind of
pushed him through that thing but
Elizabeth you know her hands are a
little bit softer and her hands are a
little bit smaller and she couldn’t
get through it the way that she had
wanted to or as quickly as she could in
kind of looking at her brother who was
now enjoying his candy cane
um already
and she got a little bit teary and she
got a little bit upset and Daddy Daddy
help help help and so I got involved and
helped her and helped her unwrap it a
little bit and then gave it back to her
and then she teared a little bit and
then I helped her a little bit and
eventually she pulled this whole thing
out and she could enjoy the candy cane
this gift that I had given her
if we read verse 3 again it says
consider him who endured such opposition
from Sinners so that you will not grow
weary and not lose heart the kids uh
slowly kind of started to lose heart and
slowly got a little bit weary but I ha
to step in and remind them and say this
gift that I have given you is yours
but as we go through the process of what
it means to unwrap it a little bit there
is the enjoyment of what it means to
enjoy that candy cane
