Hi, I’m Joni Eareckson Tada. And not long ago, a group of boys and girls from a local church came to visit our International Disability Center. They came to drop off handmade ‘Gospel Bracelets’ for our Wheels for the World teams. One of the girls [her name was Allison] proudly told me how the black bead represented sin; the red one, Christ’s blood; the blue, for the washing of the Word; and the green, was for our growth in Jesus; and oh, yes, the yellow was for heaven [she said with a smile]. These children were so adorable! You know, Proverbs 22 says, “Train up a child in the way he should go, because even when he is old he will not depart from it.” So, friend, if you have a child in your life—in your family, in your neighborhood—think about making a few Gospel bracelets with them. It’s a simple way to teach them the good news of Jesus and it’s a lot of fun! For all the details, visit our Kids’ Corner at joniandfriends.org.
