Prayer is Like . . .





Tonight at family night, we had a fun gathering activity. There was an object on each table and the families were to work together to consider how the object might be like prayer. Here are a few of the thoughts. See if you can match the object with the thoughts below.

Along with the really cool, smart people, photo one has a a tape measure, photo two has a silver creamer, and photo three has a maraca.

Which of these comments matches which object:

A.Prayer and this object are both like music, the duration of each depends on you, you get out of them what you put into them, they are both beautiful, everytime you use it it sounds different,like every prayer sounds different.
B.Prayer and this object can be long or short, there are many uses for them, they are both tools, anyone can use them.
C.Prayer and this object are both strong, old, silent and quiet, used for pouring something out,both can fill you up, can be shared with others.

Aren't those great! What creative families we have. Keep posted - I have more for another time!
