Good News – Week 3

Talk to your kids about waiting for things. Give them some examples of things that need the right timing to be enjoyed (cake, swimming in a lake, building a snowman, etc.). Let them know that God has set certain times for certain events and His timing is the best.

Read Luke2:25-40

How hard do you think it was for Simeon and Anna to wait to seeJesus?

What are some other good things God has done that needed the right timing?

What do you think we could miss out on if we decided not to wait on God’s timing?

What did Simeon and Anna need to have while waiting to see Jesus? (patience, trust, understanding)

Close in prayer by asking God for patience while we wait for His timing. Let Him know that you trust Him and that you understand that His timing is the best.
