Our family had the joy of spending Sunday night at Faith Church in Dyer, IN at an event called Kidz Blitz! Kidz Blitz is a high energy event filled with games and excitement that is fun for the whole family. How often do kids get the permission in church to jump around, scream and yell, make a mess, play games, and just let themselves go? Kidz Blitz, however, was not just about fun and games. Throughout the night, the host continually connected the games that were being played with Biblical truths and challenged those in the audience.
While I was expecting a spiritual message of some sort during the event, I was not really prepared for how God was going move in that arena. The host reminded parents about the power of the example that they are setting for their children each and every day and challenged them to step up to the plate and accept the responsibility God has placed on them. The night ended with an invitation for both the parents and children to make a decision for Christ if they hadn’t already done so. The response was incredible as parents and children flooded down to the front of the room. It was pretty awesome.
I really enjoyed the opportunity to have some fun with Brisa and Brice, but what I’ve appreciated even more is the chance to continue the spiritual conversations with my kids, especially Brisa, as the week has continued on. I love that Brisa is curious. I love that she’s asking questions (though I don’t have all the answers). I love that, when I asked her if she understood the message that was presented that night, she indicated that she didn’t have it all figured out but that she understood that Christ died for her. Kidz Blitz was a great reminder of how much I love my kids. And it was a an even better reminder of how much Christ loves me.
