Patience That Ripens
"Let patience have its perfect work."James 1:4
Reflection
Fruit picked green is sour. God lets us ripen at the right time, and patience is what makes that time worth it.
Prayer
Father, teach me to wait without getting restless. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why is green fruit sour?
- What are you waiting to be ready for?
- How does patience help us grow?
