Bye, bye Yo-yo

I wondered if anyone has a yo-yo? I remember having one as a child, I don’t think I was very good at it but I could manage to get it to go up and down a few times. I certainly couldn’t do some the tricks with it that others could but it was fun at the time. Have a wee look at the tricks the boy above can do :
He is amazing I’m sure he must practice nearly all day every day to be that good. He never once took his eye of the yo-yo and the yo-yo never once stop doing what boy wanted it to do.
Life can be a bit like the yo-yo lots of up and down, twist and turns and getting tangled in knots and needing help to straighten ourselves out. But did you notice how important the string is to the yo-yo? It’s the string that connects the yo-yo to your hand. Without that connection the yo-yo would roll right away and probably get lost. Without that connection it’s “Bye-bye, yo-yo!”
And it’s the same with us. We need to stay connected, too – to God. Without a connection to God we’d be like a yo-yo without a string: we’d just roll around and most likely get lost.
What do you think is the best way to stay connected to God?
Prayer
And how often should we pray? Once a month? Once a week?
Think about the boy with the yo-yo how often would he need to practice to be so good with the yo-yo?
How about every day? That would be good idea.
The bible tells us in 1 Thessalonians 5:17: “never stop praying.”
In other words, pray every day. We need to stay connected to God by praying every day so we won’t be like a yo-yo without a string.
Now that is something we should pray about:
Heavenly Father,
Thank you for all the people who can help up sort ourselves out when life gets all tangled up.
Thank you for always watching over us and help us to remember to pray every day so that we can stay connected to you, and be guided by your Holy Spirit.
We pray this in Jesus’ holy name.
Amen
Activities:
Have fun with a yo-yo if you have one handy
Make a prayer diary or calendar and add a prayer every day
AMEN
