Christmas

Simeon Waited

"Lord, now You are letting Your servant depart in peace, for my eyes have seen Your salvation."
Luke 2:29-30

Reflection

Simeon waited his whole life to see the Child. Some promises take long, but they arrive before the end.

Prayer

God, give me patience to wait for Your promises. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. How long did Simeon wait?
  2. How do you think he felt when he saw the baby?
  3. What is hard for you to wait for?

5-minute activity

Talk with a grandparent or older person about something they waited a long time for. If you can't talk now, write questions to ask later. Read Luke 2:25-32.
