Everything in Its Time

"He has made everything beautiful in its time."
Ecclesiastes 3:11

Reflection

A flower that opens early withers fast. God makes each thing beautiful at its own time, including the things you are waiting for now.

Prayer

God, teach my heart to trust Your timing. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What are you waiting for right now?
  2. Why does a flower that opens early wither?
  3. How can we trust God's timing?

5-minute activity

Look at a flower bud and an open flower, in a garden or in pictures. Draw a bud and write next to it something you are waiting for. Pray about it together. Read Ecclesiastes 3:11.
