Today’s Story

Michael uses babysitting as his ticket to head to the toy store while Mom runs other errands in the mall. Sure! Michael's old enough to keep an eye on his little brother, but it only takes the lure of an all-new sports store, and suddenly, Timmy is gone.

And this is only the beginning of Michael's big let down. In no time flat, he's let his sister down, too!

Poor Brooke! And poor Michael! He's learning that to be dependable means to be a person of his word.

HOW ABOUT YOU…Have you ever had a time where you let someone down because you didn't follow up on your promises?

CHECK THIS OUT …Read Matthew 25:14-28 (Jesus' Parable of the Talents). God trusts us to make good on our promises—especially with the little promises we make to Him and others. When we show obedience to Him with the little things, He will increase our responsibility with greater joys.
