Make A Special Family Treat!

Enjoy this fun treat as a family! And, while you take turns giving it a shake, take the opportunity to talk about patience. Respond with stories about things you all have a hard time waiting for. Then bring closure to this conversation by pointing out that God gave us the gift of patience as an important thing for members of God's family to express.
