We’ve Got to Celebrate Our Differences!
The world is full of variety and differences! Our Difference is wonderful and worth celebrating!
But sadly, we often struggle when people are different in some way!
Often, we are reluctant to welcome people who may look different, wear different clothes, speak a different language, etc.
[b] Jonah and the Whale Bible Story video. (9.40 minutes long)
The prophet Jonah was sent by God to the evil superpower at Nineveh to tell them to turn from their evil ways, but he rebelled and went in the opposite direction.
God caused a big fish, a whale(?), to swallow him until he agreed to do as God told him, so Jonah went to Nineveh, and everyone turned from their evil ways.
