Micah Benoit, age 9, shares a moment with her mom, Nikki, as she receives
an exciting phone call from Ron Sirota of The Hilltop Ranch telling her she won
a dude ranch family vacation in the Children's International Arts Festival.
Winning Writing by Micah Benoit, age 9:
Festival Question: "What can we learn from Jesus turning the water into wine?" (John 2:1-11)
Micah's Answer:
"One thing we can learn from Jesus turning water into wine is he respects his mom. One detail from the verse that supports my answer is when his mom told him there was no more wine, Jesus made more wine even though it was not his time to do a miracle.
"Another thing I learned from Jesus turning water into wine is he likes helping others. One detail that supports my answer is the people that were at the wedding wanted to keep on celebrating, and they wanted wine to keep celebrating. Since there was no more wine left, he was willing to make more wine. When Jesus (performs) a miracle, the outcome is always better than before."
