Waiting With Joy: An Advent Activity Calendar for KidsExemplo
Pray for Peace
The wolf shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the young goat, and the calf and the lion and the fattened calf together; and a little child shall lead them. (v. 6)
Do you ever fight with other kids—a brother, sister, cousin, or friend? Do you ever want a toy that they have? How did it make you feel when the fight was over?
Everyone argues with other people sometimes—even grownups argue and fight with each other. It’s normal to disagree sometimes! But you might need to apologize and ask for forgiveness when you fight. Making up after a fight can be hard work, but the peace that comes after that can feel really good.
Today’s Bible verse tells us that when God’s kingdom comes, all creation will be at peace with each other. Even animals that normally fight will be at peace. That’s a surprising idea. Can you imagine that kind of peaceful world?
Prayer: Thank you, God, for giving us friends and family. Forgive us when we hurt others, and help us make peace together.
Today’s Activity: Prepare a snack of bite-sized crackers, pretzels, or another small treat. How can you divide and share the snack, so everyone gets a fair amount?
Parents: Make sure that your snack divides evenly between your children.
