Patience With Those I Love
"Love suffers long and is kind."1 Corinthians 13:4
Reflection
It is funny: sometimes we are politer to strangers than to the people we live with. Loving at home means being patient with whoever you see every day.
Prayer
Lord, give me patience with the people in my house. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Are we sometimes politer to strangers than to family?
- When is it hard to be patient at home?
- How can we be more patient with each other?
5-minute activity
For one evening, the family uses "stranger manners" at home: please, thank you and no interrupting. At bedtime, talk about how the home felt. Read 1 Corinthians 13:4-5.
