Welcome to the Woodies Kids blog.
This week we are thinking about…
Do you know what the ‘Fruits of the Spirit’ are? You can read about them in Galatians 5:22-23.
These fruits aren’t actual fruit, they are ways of acting or being that is pleasing to God. When we spend time with God by praying and reading the bible the Holy Spirit helps grow these fruits within us.
Today we are looking at the story of Jairus’ daughter.
You can find this in Mark 5:22-41
TIME TO THINK
How do you think Jairus felt when Jesus didn’t immediately come with him to heal his daughter?
Many people who came to see Jesus came to be healed. Even when people from Jairus’ household came to tell him his daughter had died Jesus didn’t rush to the house. He knew everything that was going to happen, what a test of faith it must have been for Jairus to trust that Jesus would help him.
Dear God,
Please help me to be patient when I need to wait for things. I trust that you know what is best for me and that things happen at the right time.
Amen.
