God is our place of safety. He gives us strength. He is always there to help us in times of trouble. – Psalm 46:1 (NIrV)
Happy Groundhog Day! Groundhog Day isn’t a big holiday like Christmas or Thanksgiving, but just a silly day people celebrate just for fun.
Here’s how it works. According to superstition, if the groundhog sees his shadow on Groundhog Day, we will have six more weeks of cold, winter weather. However, if he doesn’t see his shadow, it will mean we’re in for an early spring.
In this week’s episode of the True Tale Trail, we invite kids and families to explore Psalm 34:8: “Taste and see that the Lord is good.” Using the fun (and delicious!) picture of s’mores, this episode helps kids understand how they can discover God’s goodness for themselves.
Along the trail, kids will learn:
How God’s goodness shows up in the world He made
Why reading the Bible is like enjoying a sweet treat for our hearts
How sharing God’s love with others helps us become more like Jesus

If you want to teach your kids to trust God for their future, the best place to start is by reminding them of how faithful God has been in the past!
In this episode of The True Tale Trail, we’ll hear how God used twelve stones as a spiritual souvenir to remind His people of one of the most amazing ways He provided for them in their journey to the Promised Land.
Today we’ll explore Joshua chapters 3 and 4, where God leads His people across the Jordan River on dry ground and gives them a powerful reminder of His goodness.
This story will teach your family that remembering God’s faithfulness in the past helps us trust Him for the future, and will point them Jesus—the one who made an even greater way for us through the cross.
This is a perfect one for families as we close out the old year and step into a new one, to help us to pause, remember God’s goodness, and learn to trust Him wherever the He leads next.
Today’s Backpack Bible Verse: “Lord, I will remember what you did. Yes, I will remember your miracles of long ago.” – Psalm 77:11 (NIrV)
