Mary said to the servants, "Do whatever he tells you." John 2:5
Read
John 2:1-11
Have you heard this story of Jesus first miracle? Can you imagine what the servants were thinking? 'why does he want us to fill these jars with water?' The servants could not understand how this cold help, but they obeyed Jesus. When we believe in Jesus and obey Him, miracles will happen in our lives today. Think of a time in your life when God asked you to do something and you were thinking it sounded strange. But you had faith and did it anyway. What happened? One time I was called to lead a bible study for middle school children. It was something I was not trained for or particularly wanted to do. But God kept putting it on my heart. So I volunteered to lead a once a month bible study and fellowship night at our church. The first meeting there were 6 kids and one of the boys was quite a handful. I thought to myself that this is nuts I'm going to quit. But God asked me to try again and He'd send help. Another meeting came the next month and I had one mom who wanted to help and there were 10 kids. I thought cool, my prayers were answered. I have help, but I still was not sure what God was doing with me.?! Another month came and there were 18 kids! I was totally blown away by the work God was doing through me. By the end of the year we had grown to two nights a month and a good 15-18 kids every meeting. What an experience to see God provide a night of fellowship for kids who needed to hear they are loved. Thanks God for giving me the courage to do your work!

Activity Idea
*Miracles are all around us. Some are very obvious like the water into wine, yet some are very hard to know they are miracles. New life around us at spring is a wonderful reminder of the miracle that Jesus came back to life after being in the dark tomb. Have you experienced a miracle, maybe with your health, or with a relationship. Talk about them with your children
*Make a miracle wind sock, with a piece of paper turn to a tube, write miracles around the top. Draw pictures of miracles you know of or would like to happen and hang them from the bottom of the tube with string.
