Jonah & The Whale

Summary : The book of Jonah poses fascinating questions for us to ponder. Do we truly forgive and love our enemies? And do we run from God when faced with our failures? By examining ourselves through Jonah’s story, we can learn to trust God in his decisions and give all our concerns to him, knowing that he desires to save every individual and reunite with them forever. https://bibleproject.com/videos/jonah/ [https://bibleproject.com/videos/jonah/] My Little Book About, Jonah & The Whale New Seasons Publishing.

The Fox And The Grapes

The Fox And The Grapes by Aesop The Fox and the Grapes (Perry Index 15) is one of the oldest and most influential of Aesop’s fables, and the origin of the English expression "sour grapes." The fable appears in the earliest Greek collections and was retold by Phaedrus in Latin verse (1st century CE) and by Jean de La Fontaine as Le Renard et les Raisins(1668). Modern psychologists cite it as the earliest illustration of cognitive dissonance — the mental discomfort of holding contradictory beliefs (wanting the grapes but being unable to reach them), resolved by changing one’s attitude ("they’re sour anyway"). https://americanliterature.com/author/aesop/short-story/the-fox-and-the-grapes [https://americanliterature.com/author/aesop/short-story/the-fox-and-the-grapes]
