Psalm 136 reminds me of a beach vacation we took with our sons when they were small. On our vacation Sunday, we were not going to church and so we decided to read Psalm 136 with them responding "His steadfast love endures forever". Being very young, this just struck them as hysterical. They laughed all the way through and created an real moment of strong love for their youth, their innocence and because their joy was apparent. That emotion that wells up of overwhelming love is how much God our Father loves us.
We then had a discussion of the movie, “Prince of Egypt.” I recommend it for all ages seeking the Kingdom of Heaven. Prince of Egypt - There Can be Miracles When You Believe - listen You Tube.
