Waiting Jar Activity
In this week's Children's Message, we talked about how hard it can be to wait for things. The Psalmist was waiting for God to hear and answer his prayers, much like we are all waiting for God to answer our prayers concerning the Coronavirus. We talked about things we can to while we're waiting to make the time more useful, and to help us from being scared or anxious while we're waiting. One way to be intentional about how we spend our waiting time is to create a Waiting Jar for your family. Take any jar or box that you have and decorate it any way you'd like. (I've included some labels you can print and use if you'd like to.) Then print out these activity ideas, or write your own. Cut them apart and place in the jar. Each day, you can select one (or more) ideas from the Waiting Jar to help you find ways to wait more actively!
You can listen to the children's message in the video below.
