God doesn’t give up. He can help us not to give up.
It takes endurance to memorize God’s word, grow a plant, run a race.
CRAFT/ACTIVITY SUGGESTIONS: 1) make a paper person and glue it on a popsicle stick. Prepare a separate paper with a picture of a track or a road which the children can color. Cut a horizontal slit on the track/road. The man can “run” across by sliding the popsicle stick; 2) Make an “ENDURANCE” shape puzzle. Write the letters of the word “endurance” on a shape with each letter being a different shape. Prepare a second paper with just the shapes (not the letters). The children can cut out the shapes with the letters and match/glue them on the second paper to spell out the word “endurance.”
