Twelve Stories from the Straight Path

Sam is eight. His sister Ruby is six. Every day they come to the edge of a pit: a lie that would be easy to tell, a rule that feels too small for them, a screen that won’t let go. Sometimes they choose the path. Sometimes they fall in, and a grown-up who loves them helps them climb out.

Each story is two spreads, the pit and then the path, with a Bible verse, a plain-words line and one question to ask at bedtime. Read one a night.

Story 2: the pit, then the path

Mom and Sam glue the blue cup back together at the kitchen table
Honest and reliable

He tiptoed down the hall. “Mom?” His voice wobbled. “I broke your cup. I was running. And then I said no. I’m sorry.”

Mom pulled him into a big hug. “Thank you for telling me the truth,” she said.

“Lying lips are abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly are his delight.” Proverbs 12:22

Ask at bedtime: When is telling the truth the hardest?
