Bible Stories for Littles
Hello! I hope this post finds you all well.
I'm a Catholic and a little, and I find that some Bible stories make me feel safe and loved. So, I've picked out some Gospel stories on the wonders and healings and wisdom of Jesus to read while little, either as a story time or as a bedtime story. For you Christian littles, may God bless you and be with you in littlespace. For you non-Christian littles, you can still read these as good wondrous stories. (Bonus famous Bible verse from saint Paul about love at the end)
For those of you new to reading the Bible, it goes (Book Name) (Chapter #) : (verse numbers including those numbers). And some stories appear in multiple books, so just choose one. You can get your own physical Bible or simply look up the verses online for an online Bible.
