Family Activity:

Read The Bible Story Together: Simeon (Luke 2:25-35)

Ask your children to tell you about a time they had to wait for something. Was it hard or easy for them to wait?

Practice Patience

It is so hard to wait and have patience sometimes. Simeon had been promised that he would live long enough to see the Messiah, but he was an old man. The promise was fulfilled though when he saw Jesus. We need to have patience, too. This week, make a monthly calendar as a family. Write down some events your family has coming up that you are looking forward to attending. Each day, mark off the days leading up to the events by writing
 
I Will Be Patient! Encourage your children to have patience even when it seems hard to wait.

See you next Sunday!
