The Prince of Egypt
Nov/10/2007 10:06 AM
I am still not adjusted to the time change so I have been getting up pretty early...5:30am on a Saturday morning. Pretty sick, huh? And we don't even have kids yet! Anyway, I turned on the television and the Prince of Egypt was on. Have you seen that lately? That cartoon is awesome! I was so moved by it and the power of God...and this was simply portrayed in a cartoon. I can't imagine what it must have really been like to be a Hebrew in those times.
The need for the power of God is an interesting thing...of course we always need Him...but it is only in the difficult times that we are sincerely aware of our great need. All this to say...I am really aware of my need for the power of God than ever before and watching this cartoon brought to light the amazing faithfulness of God.
It's a violent story and beautiful part of history that I long to explain to my children. Now, I'm just trying to figure out at what age our kids will be able to watch this movie...I was thinking 3 or 4. Kids relate to God in such an interesting way. I asked Ella (2 years old) the other day, "Where is Jesus?" She said, "In my book." I love that...now I can't wait for her to know the rest the story.
