God illumines our lives through Jesus Christ. When Lighting Comes in a Jar by Patricia PolaccoĬomment: Paul reminds the Corinthians that God said “Let light shine out of darkness”. Even though Elijah has been carried up, Elisha doesn’t have to be afraid anymore-he has the spirit of his friend and mentor with him. But as he is leaving, Elijah grants Elisha a double portion of his spirit to help Elisha after Elijah is gone. And even though he tries to stay with Elijah, eventually they must part. In our passage, Elisha is afraid, too, because he knows that his mentor Elijah is leaving him today.
The little boy is afraid in the city, so afraid he can hardly sleep! But his Nana makes him a special red cape to wear to help him feel brave, and when he wears it, he isn’t afraid anymore! He and Nana explore the city, this time excited to see all that it has to offer. Comment: In Nana in the City, a little boy goes to visit his grandmother in New York City, which is full of large buildings, big crowds, and loud noises.
