Videos cant be uploaded with photos, so I will add it separately, but today we learned about Patience and how it is important to know it, practice it and have it. Patience is spiritual maturity. It is the ability to endure hard things and handle conflict calmly when people annoy or hurt us.
So we did the object lesson: Shaken Sodas. One exploded the other did not. Life will shake us up. Patience is the 30-second pause that lets the Holy Spirit settle our hearts so we don't explode.
Then we did a team building game with Legos which was also a huge hit. One was blind folded and another had to instruct the blindfold to create something. It was to teach the kids we must practice patience to communicate well when others don't understand us right away.

-"Better a patient person than a warrior, one with self-control than one who takes a city." — Proverbs 16:32

A weekly tracker idea if you want to practice this at home with your kids:

📅 Weekly Tracker Use the "Pause" Strategy this week: Recognize your trigger, count backward from 5, and ask the Holy Spirit for help. Track your days below:
What tested your patience today? Day 1, day 2, ect

Did you use the "Pause"? (Yes/No) day 1, day 2, ect

How did you handle it?Day 1Day 2Day 3Day 4Day, ect
