A Friend in Need...

 

Have you ever heard an idiom or common expression that made no sense to you at first?

For me, it was "A Friend in Need is a Friend Indeed." I first read it when I was 8 years old. I simply couldn't understand why a friend who needed something was more important than a friend who didn't need anything.

My solution was... when someone needs something, I can try to help! It makes my friend happy & makes Jesus happy! 🙂 I was also a Brownie Girl Scout and part of our pledge was to "help others." So, naturally, a friend who needed help gave me the chance to be helpful & make everyone happy!! 😁


I won't admit to how many YEARS it took before the true meaning occurred to me 😉 Be thankful for the people who are loyal to you when you are in need. Learning Gratitude & Loyalty is as important as Helping Others. But I still kinda like my original interpretation, too.

MY REVIEW of Explorer Bible Dictionary for Kids: The CSB Explorer Bible Dictionary is one of the most exciting books I have read for helping kids study the Bible. The bright, colorful pages are inviting to read but the information is what will hold their attention. Hundreds of common Bible terms are paired with an explanation and Scripture references to match. The charts and maps included as an aid to understand the Bible are outstanding. I would have loved this resource when I was a child.

This book is perfect for church, Sunday schools, homeschool, Bible studies, or for a personal reference library. Families who study the Bible together will certainly use this while teaching their children. I have several great-grandkids in elementary school, and this will be useful when questions arise to keep things at their level.

I highly recommend this dictionary for the children in your life. It will be an excellent resource for additional study while kids are on their summer break.
