Comedy in Devotions

Today in our family devotions I spent some time with the younger 5 equipping them with how to answer a friend who may ask them, how they can know and follow God.

I borrowed three simple ideas, and was attempting to train Noah, Beth & Belle, in particular, to learn them.
So I shared that they may want to tell their friend, that in order for them to know and follow God they can pray and 1) thank God for His Son Jesus. 2) seek forgiveness from God for the sins they have committed. 3) ask God to live in their hearts.

Fairly basic and simple, I thought! So we reviewed and reviewed and then thought we could do a role play.

So Caleb, Abigail & Noah were reporters following the famous Chavez twins who were out shopping. News had hit the press that the Chavez twins were now followers of God and the reporters wanted to know how they could know and follow God as well.
As Caleb, Abigail & Noah are spitting out their introduction and finally ask the question of the twins, out shopping, how they could know and follow God, Bella answers:

She says: "You have to die and go to heaven"

We erupted in laughs and poor Bella cried... but then after a few cuddles - was all smiles again & wanted to see the pictures...
