The Broken Toy Joy

For Kids and families

The story

Ethan's favorite toy broke, and disappointment stung his eyes. He didn't know how to feel better. He prayed, "God, I'm sad. Please help me find joy." Ideas came—drawing adventures for his toy, building a new world from blocks, playing make-believe with his sister. Laughter returned. Ethan realized hope could grow even after disappointment.

The moral

God brings hope in disappointment.
