Love Is Patient
Play. Play “the quiet game” and see who can go the longest without speaking or making a sound.
Talk. It takes a lot of patience to sit quietly and wait when you really want to talk or play. In 1 Corinthians 13.4, the Bible tells us that real love, godly love, is patient. Sometimes that might mean that we give others the benefit of the doubt if they hurt us. Other times it might mean that we keep quiet instead of arguing when we disagree with someone. How else can you show patient love to others?
Pray. Pray that God will help you to love others patiently.

About this Plan
The Bible focuses on "what love is" in 1st Corinthians. This well-known list includes patience, kindness, protection, hope, not being self-seeking and not holding a grudge. With these concrete characteristics, parents can explore God's love with their children in these family devotions. The goal is to have children internalize these attributes. If they do, they can better understand how to love others.
