Recently at our Good News Club, we began teaching CEF’s Wordless Book curriculum. We gave the children wordless book bracelets and are training them to use them to share the love of Christ with their friends and family – it is wonderful!

The week we started on lesson one, we began teaching the Gold Page which is about Heaven. One of the illustrated pages contains pictures of ‘things that will be in Heaven.’ The lesson also highlights the teaching of the Lamb’s Book of Life.

One of our little girls, Alicia, grade 2, was listening so intently to the teaching. When I said that each person who has placed their faith in Christ for the forgiveness of their sins will have their name written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, Alicia smiled to think her name was in the Lamb’s Book of Life since she had made that decision. She frowned and then raised her hand.

When I called on her, she said she was very sad because she just knew that her name would not be spelled correctly in the Book. Apparently, this has been an ongoing problem for Alicia, and she had tears in her eyes and a quivering little lip as she told us all about it. After reassuring her that Jesus knew how to spell her name and giving her a hug, we moved on, but she seemed unconvinced.

After the lesson was over, we moved on to the review game provided with the lesson. Around question #7, I called on Alicia to answer a question and she got it right. This entitled her to pick a special card from a stack, at random, and to say whether the picture on the card would be something that would be in heaven or would not be in heaven ….a correct answer meant another 1,000 points for her team! Alicia leaned over to pick a card from my hand, turned it over, and was staring at a picture of the Lamb’s Book of Life! She proudly announced the correct answer and then called out in disbelief, “Look! My name is in the Book and it is SPELLED RIGHT!” Sure enough, I looked and there was her name, “Alicia,” along with a list of other names on the pre-printed card from the publisher!

What an incredible gift God gave to that little girl that day in club. We were all so happy and rejoicing with her over this small miracle! Truly, God is in the details of our lives, every day, all the time! Praise God!
