Have Patience

Prayer

Theres a goal for today. If you speak, you have to speak quieter and slower than normal. If you move, you have to be slow like a turtle. If you dont, then theres consequences.

(key for this lesson, go slow, be calm, be slow to speak, have the kids be slow to speak)

Guess what

we are learning about one of the things you guys dont like.

Do yall like waiting in line?

Do y’all like waiting for a game to buffer?

Do y’all like waiting for Christmas day?

Do y’all like waiting for anything?

Why is it important to wait?

(because it builds up patience)

So…today, we are learning about patience.

I got another song for y’all.

“Have patience, have patience, dont be in such a hurry. When you get impatient you only start to worry. Remember, remember, That God is patient too and think of all the times when others have to wait for you!”

have teams of two, face each other, toss a ball back and forth, easily, patiently, not rushing it. If someone rushes through it everyone has to change partners.

Have everyone stop when you feel its time to stop.

So do we think God wants us to be patient? Why?

Did y’all know he is very patient with you? We screw up all the time, we disobey our parents, we call each other names, we lie, we talk back, we take things out in anger....but yet God is patient with you. Waiting for you to ask for forgiveness and to do better. And not only that, your parents are patient with you, cause yall are still growing up! We’re learning, but through learning, we have to be patient and be patient with others!
