Morning my budding ocean experts,

I hope you enjoyed starting the Save Our Seas topic yesterday. In the afternoon, Lola and Toby made a den in the living room then curled up in it and watched Blue Planet for their relaxing time. I just love that series- you can learn so much!

The Story of Jesus Calming the Sea of Galilee

One night after a long day of preaching to the people, Jesus decided to get into a fishing boat with his disciples and go across a sea to the other side. Leaving the crowd behind, Jesus and his friends got into the boat.  When they had sailed to the middle of the sea, a storm began to kick up waves.  The boat rocked back and forth and up and down over the waves. The storm grew stronger and more furious.

Jesus had fallen asleep almost as soon as the boat left the shore. Even though the sea was tossing the boat around, he was still asleep. But his disciples were beginning to get really afraid. They tried lowering the sail and throwing out the anchor, but nothing worked.  They bailed out the water, but still the storm raged. The boat was close to sinking. 

Finally, they couldn’t stand it any longer. Jesus was still sound asleep, so they woke him up. They said, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?” 

With that, Jesus stood up in the boat and shouted out, “Quiet! Be still!” The storm died down, the waves grew calm, and the boat Jesus was on stopped sinking.

Jesus looked at his disciples, who were now soaking wet and shaking with fear. He said to them, “Why are you so afraid? Didn’t you believe that I would take care of you?”  The disciples were no longer afraid, but they were amazed. They turned to each other and asked, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Jesus is the Son of God, creator of the universe. We can count on him to calm the storms in our lives. When a fear seems to take hold of us, we can call out to Jesus in prayer and know that he hears us just as he heard the disciples’ cries for help.

 Dear God, please accept these gifts. We know that you can do all things, including taking away our fears. In Jesus’ name, amen.
