Title: The Secret Power of the Great Builders
Once upon a time, in a small village, there lived three curious childrenâJoshua, Moses, and Noa. They loved to ask big questions about the world. One evening, as they sat under a huge tree, their grandfather, Papa Jethro, told them a story that would change how they saw everything.
Joshua and the Sun
"Did you know," Papa Jethro began, "that a man named Joshua once looked at the sun and told it to stop moving?"
Joshuaâs eyes widened. "And did it listen?" he asked.
"Yes! The sun froze in the sky, and time stood still!" Papa Jethro said with a smile. "He didnât use a clock or a machine. He used something more powerfulâhis faith!"
Moses and the Sea
Moses leaned forward. "What about me? Do I have a great story too?"
"Of course!" Papa Jethro chuckled. "A man named Moses once found himself trapped between a mighty sea and a great army. But he wasnât afraid. He stretched out his hand, and the sea split in two, making a dry path for his people to walk through!"
Moses gasped. "Wow! Did he use magic?"
"No, my boy. He used trust. When you believe, even the waves listen!"
Noa and the Ark
Noa, the youngest, looked up shyly. "And me, Papa?"
Papa Jethroâs eyes twinkled. "There was once a man named Noa, and he was asked to build a boat big enough to carry two of every animal on earth."
"But I donât even know how to build a toy house!" Noa laughed.
"Neither did he!" Papa Jethro said. "He didnât study architecture or engineering. But he listened. He built a ship so strong that no storm, no flood, not even the wildest winds could sink it. And do you know why?"
The children shook their heads.
"Because he didnât build with science or wood aloneâhe built with faith and obedience."
The Secret Power
The children sat in awe. "So, Papa," Joshua asked, "what is the secret to making impossible things happen?"
Papa Jethro smiled. "Itâs not about having the biggest tools or knowing all the answers. Itâs about having intimacy with the One who made the world. When you listen, believe, and trust, even the sun, the sea, and the storms will obey!"
That night, as they lay in bed, the three children dreamed big dreamsânot of machines or technology, but of a power greater than allâthe power of faith.
The End.
