Children—Joseph Hayhoe
DISCLAIMER: The following has been auto-transcribed. We hope it will help you to find the section of this audio file you are looking for.
You know who's the Sunday school meeting for?
Is it?
This row of big guys here.
Yeah, maybe a little. The Sunday school meeting is a special meeting because it's for the children. Sometimes we call it a children's meeting. I think that's what it's called on the schedule card. So it's special.
OK, here's another question.
Who's the children's meeting about?
It's for the children. Who is it about?
Yes, thanks. And then who do you think it's about? Who do we talk about in Sunday School? Miracle Titus takes a lot of Sunday school here in Pella, Right. Who's Uncle Titus always talking about when he gets up and talks in Sunday School? You know, That's right. Good answer, Landon. Thank you. So the Sunday school children's meeting is for the children.
We talk about the Lord Jesus. It's about the Lord Jesus. We can talk about the Lord Jesus.
And tell the little children about the Lord Jesus. OK, well, we're going to sing some songs here this morning.
And this is a little bit different than me back home. This is where a final conference and we have these little hint sheets, OK? And a lot of the Sunday school songs are on the back.
I was talking to the number, but right, he said, OK, you got it right. OK. So a lot of the Sunday school songs that we have on the sheet here on the back. But if you have a favorite that you know that you would like to give out, that you like to sing, my guess is because there's not so many, you might be able to pick one or two. You can pick that one too, OK? It doesn't have to be one from the back of the sheet. It can be any number that you you would give up normally when you go to Sunday school back home, OK.
All right, so who has a song that they would like to sing?
OK, you can go ahead. And what was that? Daniel, Daniel. Daniel was a man of prayer. All right, let's start with that one. OK? I think we all know that one fairly well.
Daniel was a man of prayer. He'll be praying great heart till one day breakdowns and down and down on the blood.
Harm him. David was a brave young lad. The lie of could not stare him.
Even though the giant.
Sword and shield to save them from abroad.
When this slain me, then did it bring?
The giant down before him.
OK, good singing. Thank you, Easton, for giving out that one. Now, if you're a child and you'd like to come up to the front and you just came in a little while ago, please feel free to come on up. We have some more seats here.
And we have some questions that we're going to be asking and maybe a little Sunday school illustration that will be easier to see and take part if you want to sit up at the front. But you don't, you don't have to. So who else here are the children would like to give out a song? Elaine, I saw your hand out last time. What number would you like? Do you have a favorite picture?
Number two, OK #2 is a little child.
Of seven or even 3 or 4? Is that the one you meant? OK, we'll sing that one. Thank you.
A little child of seven.
Or even 3 or 4.
May enter into heaven through Christ, the open door Lord, when the heartbeat leave.
00:05:09
On Christ's Son of God.
Salvation through his love.
OK. Thank you, Elena.
Who else would that result like? I saw a couple of hands before.
Ethan, what one would you like to sing? What's your favorite?
OK. Do you have a favorite, Another favorite? Maybe this morning because I don't know how many people know that one.
What's another one you like to sing?
Jesus loves me. OK, thank you. All right, let's see. Is that one in the back here? I think it is. It's the first one in the back. So it's #40 OK, let's think Jesus loves me.
And.
Let's see.
For the, let's do the for the 1St.
And the last verse, let's see if we can do the actions on the chorus. OK, Do you guys know the actions?
Yes. No, you don't know Easton. OK, I'll do it for you. OK. It's nice to learn to do the action sometimes with some Sunday school songs, Right it goes. Yes.
Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me, and then you do it again. Yes, Jesus, point to your palms, your hands loves me, and you go like this, the Bible tells.
Me so OK, so we'll sing the whole song and we'll do those actions after the chorus for the 1St and the last verse, OK.
Jesus.
I know for the Bible tells me so let's go on to him become they are we are beginning strong.
Yes.
Yes.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
The Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me, he who died.
And landscape 2:00 and 1:00.
He will wash away my sin.
Let a little child come in. Yes, Jesus loves me, yes.
Jesus loves me. He has. Jesus loves me.
Who tells me so?
Jesus loves me.
Oh I'm mad and he was to make me fun way soon for me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yes, he comes from sleep. The Bible tells me so. Last person.
Jesus loves me and He will stay close beside me.
All the way.
If I trust him, should I die?
He will Take Me Home online.
Yes, you just love me.
Yes, Jesus loves me.
Yeah.
00:10:01
The Bible tells me so.
OK, good singing, good job with the actions too. That's a wonderful Sunday school song that many of us have learned from when we're your age or even younger. Jesus loves me. OK, we have some time for a few more songs. Landon, did you have a song that you'd like to give out? Maybe?
It can be a favorite that you know by heart, or it can be one in the back. Which one?
We'll do #1 All right, Number one on the sheet that's almost persuaded.
Almost persuaded.
Now to believe.
Believe.
Almost.
Some souls will say.
Go thy way.
Some more can be done.
Persuaded.
Come on.
Almost persuaded.
Turn on the way.
Jesus.
Invite you here.
Let's hear his voice so clear.
Now all the hard I hear.
You know Lynn, and that's an interesting song. Is is almost enough.
What do you think if you go and enter into a race and you really want to win that race and if you win you get a big prize?
And you run really hard, and you run really hard, and you come in 2nd and you almost win it. It was really close. Maybe you're just behind the first winner. Is that enough? Almost. Do you still get the prize? Easton's shaking his head. No, you're right, almost is not enough. We're at work. We sell a gospel tract and it says almost, but lost.
So that song is about a man. He was a king.
King Agrippa and he got told the gospel, the story of the Lord Jesus, and it almost convinced him.
But he said, oh, maybe some other day it wasn't enough. That's not the way the Lord Jesus is towards us. Thankfully, when we sing about how the Lord Jesus loves us, we don't sing. He almost loves me. No, no, he definitely completely loves me all the way and he's more than enough.
OK. All right. Thank you for giving out some songs. Would any other children, maybe not in the front row, have a song that they'd like to sing this morning to give out?
About you, Lucas. Do you have a favorite? No, not this morning. That's OK.
Does Isaac have a favorite? No. You're not sure that's OK.
Lillian's looking at her songbook, but maybe we'll come back to her. How about you guys up here in the front? Or maybe Jacqueline? Does Jacqueline have a favorite?
OK. Thank you, Jacqueline. That's a good one. In the house and out of doors. I'm going to turn to it here.
So I can remember.
The verses.
OK, we can sing the whole whole song here in the house and out of doors, in the house and out of doors. Scrubbing pots and sweeping floors, washing, ironing, mending to These are things that I can do. I'll do it all.
I'll do it all for Jesus.
00:15:19
Chores.
These are things that I can do. I'll do it all.
Jesus.
I'll do it all for Jesus.
I'll do it all for Jesus.
Lord is coming very soon.
In the school room through the week. Keep me, Lord, both your and me.
Doing less things need lead to.
Our daughter even see help me through. I'll do it all for Jesus.
I'll do it all for Jesus.
I'll do it all for Jesus.
Lord is coming very soon.
OK, good singing. I could hear some of you kids up here in the front row singing. That's good.
Would anyone else have a song that they like to sing? We have time for maybe one more.
Yes, Clay.
All right. Thank you, Clay. Let's sing running over. OK, I'm going to put my songbooks down for that one.
You guys know running over you can put your song books down too, so we can do the actions. OK running.
Over. Since the Lord saved me, I'm as happy as can be.
My principle and grinding over.
OK.
You know when we sing songs, whether it's in our room before we go to bed or in the front row at Sunday school, or after we eat supper with the family and we're having a reading together. It's not only happy for us, it's happy for the Lord Jesus, too. He loves it when little children sing songs about Him and about how much He loves them.
OK.
So it's time to say our verse, if we have one memorized for the for the week.
We would like to go ahead and say their verse. You can raise your hand if you like. Ethan, you want to say your verse?
All right, go ahead. All things, all things work together, work together.
For good, forget.
To them, to them that love God, that love God.
882828 OK, thank you. All right, you seen you want to see your verse, go ahead.
All things, all things work together for.
Them don't love God, Remember it's found.
Thanked for Romans, Romans 828. Good job, Easton. Very good job seeing your verse. Thank you. All right, anyone else like to see the verse landing you want? Go ahead. Alright, go ahead.
All things work together for good then.
To them love to them that love God.
Did you do the whole thing?
To them.
That are that are the call the card according according to his purpose to his purpose.
Romans. Romans 8/28/28 Thank you, Landon. Good job. All right, Elena, go ahead. Put your hand, all things.
Work together.
Nice and loud 4 good OK to them that love God.
Romans 820-8828. OK, thank you. All right, that's the first for this week. Good job.
00:20:03
Anyone else like to stand up and say the verse or or in your seat? Don't be shy.
Anyone else? That's OK All right, good job saying the verse. So the verse is found in the book of Romans chapter 8 and verse 28. All right, so let's.
Turn there real quick and I'm going to read the verse of the entirety, and then we're going to have a little object lesson about the verse that we remember that the children memorized for the week. OK, Romans chapter 8, verse 28. I'm going to read it.
Starts and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to His purpose.
OK. And that was a good job trying to remember the verse. It's good to memorize the verse for each week or one or two or whatever, maybe a few more when we get older. It's good to have God's Word in our hearts. So we're going to talk a little bit about some of the words in that verse. But first we're going to have a little object lesson, OK? And if you like, I certainly hope if you like, you can help me, OK?
So I brought something with me here today.
I'm going to turn it around. It doesn't look very nice on that side, but it gets better.
All right.
I wrote the top of the verse reference there. Can any of you children tell me what you think that looks like?
A bit wobbly of an easel, but we're good here. OK, what does that look like? Any ideas? You can raise your hand if you think you know. Easton, What does it look like to you?
Look funny.
What's that?
An animal? Well, maybe it could be.
One of my children thought it looked a little bit like the neck of a giraffe because it might be have some spots on it. When I was a kid, I still liked them. Actually. I really enjoyed doing puzzles. Do you think that you guys could help me do a puzzle here this morning as an object lesson for the verse? OK, All right. Well, good. I have some treats for those that those that help and for the kids here. We'll, we'll get to those at the end maybe.
For those that are helpers with me here this morning, but I brought in here a box. OK, now that up there is a puzzle and we're going to take a look and see if we can figure out the puzzle and see what it can teach us about the verse that we memorized for the week. All things work together for good. It's especially that first part of the verse that the puzzles going to help us out with understanding.
And we'll talk a little bit about some of the words in the verse after that, OK?
So Eastern you look ready and eager to go. You can help me I have here.
Let's see if we can get going on this puzzle here.
Let's just mix them up here.
All right.
That's good. That'll do it.
OK, So what I need you to do, Easton, if you'd like to help, is you can pick out one of those. Anyone you'd like. All right, just pick out one for now, Ethan. OK, all right, now pick one out landed.
Pick one out, Elena. All right. Good job now.
There's a couple of different ones. They're a little bit further down in the box here. We'll put that down for now.
Each of these puzzle pieces has either one of two colors on it, OK, either has blue or it has red. And the ones that have red have a little bit of blue on them too. And that's OK. But the way we're going to do this puzzle and the way we're going to learn about the verse is that the verse says all things work together for good to them that love God. OK, remember that. So if your puzzle piece has blue on it.
Before I'm going to let you go up, we're going to actually take this down here. I'll do it now.
We'll put it back up so everyone can see but what we're going to do now is we're going to we're going to lay it on the floor so you can do the puzzle OK children, we're going to put it right here They don't step on it too much here. We'll turn it this way so you can see there we go there's your puzzle okay so before.
You can go and figure out where your puzzle piece that you picked out goes on the puzzle.
We're going to do something if your puzzle piece has blue on it.
00:25:03
All blue or mostly blue, You're going to try to think. You can close your eyes if you need to, think hard, and you're going to tell me something.
That is happy or good that has happened in your life. The verse says all things work together for good. All things. And if it has red, you guys all have blue pieces there. So we'll start out with that. There's just a few of you here this morning. And if you're shy and you realize that you do want to do a puzzle, you can come up too if you're sitting in the back row. And you can help us out too and pick out a puzzle piece if you would like.
So if it's blue, I'll put, I'll give you the microphone and you can, you can think hard and you can think what's something.
Happy.
That has happened to you in your life. OK. And I think because of the lack of children, we will get to some adults too, because I think there's about 15 or so pieces. And if it's red, I want you to close your eyes and think about something that's been hard in your life that you found difficult. Not something that you did that was naughty necessarily. Something that happened in your life that was that was hard. It was hard. It could be something as simple as I stubbed my toe.
In the morning when I got out of bed and it hurt.
Or it could be something like my daddy got really sick last month and he couldn't play with me as much or something like that. OK, so that's how it's going to work. So let's get started. We'll do a few pieces here. We have we have some time here. OK, so let's start. Let's start with Elena here and go that way. Elena, you have a blue piece. OK, so in a minute here, you can get down and you can try to go in the puzzle and you can see see where the lines are. You have a you have.
Puzzle piece is very unique, so you should be able to figure out where it goes and I'll help you tape it on. OK once you figure it out. All right, Elena, what's something that has happened in your life? The verse says all things work together for good. What's something that's happy?
That's happened to you?
Can you think of something?
Did you get to visit your grandma?
A couple days ago. Was that a happy thing? OK, All right. We'll use that one. OK. And you say visited Grandma?
Grandma. Yeah. OK. All right, so you can get down and you can go to the puzzle and you can put your piece on. OK. And I'll. I'll help you there. All right, Landon, you're next. You can go ahead. Elena. Once you once you once you think you know where it goes, you let me know and I'll tape it on. OK. You can put it down and see where you think it goes. OK. Maybe we can get your older brother to help you in a minute here.
All right, Landon, what's something happy that's happened to you recently that you thought was happy?
You know, do you need a minute? All right, we'll come back to you. That's OK. Easton, what's something that's happy that you've enjoyed that happened to you recently, you know?
Sitting with Andy. That's a good one. OK, Good job. All right, You were in that one. That's a really good thing. All right, you can go ahead, Easton, and you can go and figure. Try to figure out. You can even get your dad to help you if you want. You can try to see where that piece, puzzle piece goes on the puzzle. OK, Look at the shapes.
All right, Ethan, what's something that's happy that's happened to you?
Ah, paper, Paper. OK. Did you get to go with Daddy to a park recently? Was that fun? Yes. Was it happy? OK, All right. Good job. That can be your puzzle piece. Park with Daddy. So why don't you go and you can show your sister Lana. Go and see if you can figure out where it goes. OK. All right, Landon, do you think of something happy? All right, go for it.
Daddy and me went to the fish. They went to. Oh, you saw some fish. Oh, that's so fun. OK, All right. It's fun to do things with our daddies, OK.
All right, you can go ahead and try to figure out where your puzzle piece goes, Landon. Okay, Etho's found where his goes. Good job. All right, Ethan, you want to help your sister Elena, too. Would anyone else like to come and pick a pick a puzzle piece? We have just a few children here, so if you're a little bit older.
Come on up. Good job, guys. OK. All right. You've you've got you've got some. Where does it belong? OK, All right. So shaped like this. Have you ever heard of in puzzles? There's corner pieces. Where do you think it goes, Landon? Is that a corner piece?
Good job. OK, They found it good. What do you think, Easton? How's your puzzle piece going?
There's a big box here for anyone who would like to come up. OK. You think it goes there, Easton? No. How about if we flip it over? Flip it over?
00:30:00
See where it goes there. Try there. What goes there? Hey there. That fits perfectly. Good job. All right, that's something good that you got to go sit with Andy. That's the puzzle piece. Good job. All right, guys. Now, if you'd like, you can pick out another piece. OK.
We'll pick out another one.
Good. All right, Easton, you want to pick out another one?
All right, good. So Ethan, the one that you picked has red on it. OK. Can you think of something in your life that was hard? That's happened? What did you find hard?
Not sure. I'll come back to you. You, Landon picked out a blue one, and so did Easton, and you and Elena picked out red ones. So, OK, I'm going to go ahead and change it up. So we're going to do one for John. John picks. Oh, John has red. OK, All right.
We're going to do one for you and then Tim's, let's not forget the Tim's, all right? They got one. OK, All right, we'll get to you guys in a minute there.
Good job.
Now, the offer still stands. There's still a few pieces for any other children. If not, I'm just going to pass them out to some of the adults here in a minute. All right, Easton, so before you put your piece on, can you think of another thing? You got another blue one so you can. Can you think of another thing that was happy that you really enjoyed?
No, not right now. That's OK. Why don't you, We'll we'll come back to that. Why don't, why don't you try to figure out where that piece goes to?
All right. Good try. I think it goes close to where.
Your other piece went there. You keep looking. OK, I'll get someone to come along and help you in a minute here. All right, who do we got over here, John? All right, John has. Okay, John has one. I'm going to hold it up, John. John has one that's half blue and half red.
I did that a little bit on purpose. This one might be a little bit trickier to answer because sometimes in our life we have things that happen that they're happy and sad.
There's something that might be good, but it might be hard to go through too, or it can be confusing. All right, so that's a little bit more challenging. 1 So, John, can you think of a time in your life that was maybe a little bit happy and sad and give us an example. Moving to a different school. That's a good one. OK. So there can be some good things that would come out of moving to a different school.
But it also might be hard too, because you lose some friendships or it gets a little bit different. All right, thanks, John. John can go ahead and see if he can figure out where his puzzle piece goes. All right. And what's your name? I thought I knew that. Sorry, Isaiah. All right, Isaiah, you have one that's the similar red and blue. So can you think? Same question for you. Can you think of something?
Bittersweet memories. Bittersweet memories. OK, all right, up you go. All right, Tim, something blue. You all happy? I got to have breakfast with my friend Phil Jennings. That's okay. Wow, man, I wish I had gone to have breakfast. My friend Phil Jennings. All right, good job, Tim. Breakfast with Phil Jennings. Puzzle piece. Good job, Tim. I got to, I got to go to a Bible conference. Bible conference teleconference. That's a good one. OK, Tim's going to go figure out where his puzzle piece is. We're making progress.
He says they help you out. OK, wow, the puzzle's looking really good here.
So a verse says all things work together for good.
Job Easton. Do you want to try to do one more Easton?
Here, that one has blue and red. OK, I'll do an example for Ethan. You want to do one more? Landon? You want to do one more? OK, You guys can see if you can finish the puzzle. But it gets easier. The thing about puzzles is it gets easier as it goes along. Not all things in life work that way. Good job. See if you can figure it out. Elena, where do you think your piece goes?
So Landon put in another one that was red and blue and.
You know, when we what do you think, Houston? That's good. I think it goes there. You got it right. You get it there. Good job.
Perfect.
Good job. OK, Elena, do you think you know where your piece goes?
Right there you want to try to put it on.
Daddy help you, Easton can help you.
Put it on Perlina. We were leaving to come to this conference. All right, good job. You guys can go sit down. Thanks for your help. Good. We finished the puzzle. Wow. All right, Ethan. Thanks. OK, and go sit down.
All right, for Landon's piece there that was half red and half blue.
We're leaving for conference and my wife had done a very excellent job the morning before of packing everything all right, ready to go because we were going to go visit her grandma, who was in a nursing home and recovering from a fall she was excited about.
00:35:08
And.
We got up early in the morning and got the kids in the car and we were all feeling ahead of schedule. And it was a good feeling. I'm sure some are familiar with where you feel like you're ahead of schedule. And we got about 2025 minutes down the road and my wife was driving and I looked over to her and I said we need to go back. We need to turn around and go all the way back. I'm thankful that it wasn't two hours down the road. I had forgotten my wallet right by the door on the inside of the door there. I'd forgotten it.
Now.
Why do I say that? We had to go all the way back and we immediately lost the feeling of being ahead because we lost a significant chunk of time, but it was OK. We still made it in good time. But why do I say that one in particular? I was going to tape it here, but I think that would have taken too long for our time. But let's see if I can.
The puzzle says a word.
Can any of your children read Landon? Can you read? You can read, right? Do you know what that puzzle says? If I hold it up too high, it's going to.
God could try. God would be 10. This one has two. I'll give you a hint. A There you go. You got it on the second track. Good job. All right. It says good. All right, I can't put it back up on the easel because it'll slide all over the place. But the children did a good job. We'll put it. We'll put it over here.
For now.
In that example that I gave where we had to go all the way back, it doesn't seem good, does it? That doesn't seem like a good thing. We had to turn around. We had to drive back. Especially with the price of gas these days, there's not much good that that seemed like happening. But you know, there's things that we don't know, OK.
Our verse said.
All things work together for good to them that love God. So I'm going to ask you a question, children. Who really knows what's good?
Do we? What was that? Ethan here, Can you say that again?
Oh, that's a good answer.
You know, sometimes we think we know what's good and what's bad, and we might to a certain extent.
But the verse says all things work together for good. We don't know the whole picture. Something about a puzzle is you don't really know what it's going to be like until you put it all together at the end. Our lives work a little bit like that, children. It looks nice, doesn't it? Now at the end you can read the word and it looks like it goes all together.
Maybe.
If I hadn't forgotten my keys, maybe we had gotten into a car accident and God had me forget my keys so that we could go back. We don't know.
But what we do know is what the verse says this morning. It's a promise that God has given to us. There are things that are hard in our lives.
Things that seem difficult.
Right. John had a good example where going to a new school, you know, it might seem hard or difficult at the time, but we don't know exactly what the full picture looks like in the end. But the Bible tells us another promise about how.
Our latter end or our final end? God is working for, blessing for good. So the answer to the question who knows what's really good?
Truly good. Ethan was right, he said. The Lord Jesus does, and the Lord Jesus does know what's truly good for us.
And the puzzle can be a helpful illustration because, let's say boys and girls, things are things that are hard aren't fun, right? At least not in the moment they're not. So if we decide what's good for us and we did our own thing.
Do you think that you take that red out? Let's just skip to all the blue stuff. Let's just have a whole blue thing there. Would the puzzle be complete? Would it look right? Would it say good anymore? No, it wouldn't. If it were up to us, we would choose things that maybe God wouldn't, and we need to trust Him because all things work together for good.
Now.
We have a few minutes left.
The verse doesn't end there.
It says all things work together for good and we can trust God that he's working, whether it's a hard thing or a fun thing, a happy thing like sitting with Andy or getting to have a breakfast with our friend Phil Jennings.
00:40:05
He knows what's really good for us. But the verse goes on to say to them that love God.
Who's that?
Have you ever asked yourself, Landon, I love God? Do you think you love God? That's good. That's a good answer. How can we know that we love God? You know, a good answer that I found helpful is thinking about how much the Lord Jesus loves me. If you know in your heart that God loves you.
You're going to want to please him if you know that you've asked the Lord Jesus to come into your heart.
To wash away your sin, the naughty things that we do and that he's taking care of your sin and you've asked him into your heart, you're going to want to please Him and do right things. And in John chapter 14 verse 15, it says if we love God, we will keep His commandments.
So when we read our verse this morning that says to them that love God and you're thinking, do I love God? You know, if you have the Lord Jesus in your heart and you know that God loves you and you want to please him, you love God. That's the answer.
We love God when we keep His commandments, when we want to do the things that please Him, because we have the Lord Jesus in his heart and we can. All right, a couple other things.
The end of the verse says to them who are the called according to his purpose. So there's a couple of phrases in their children that you might not be used to the called.
Who are the called? You know, there's a Sunday school song. We didn't sing it this morning, but the Sunday school song says hear Christ calling, come unto me. It's a bit of a different calling, but he's calling each one of us to come to him.
And.
And if we hear the Lord Jesus calling us and we ask him to come into our heart, we become part of the called. We always were. He's the we're the called. And then there's according to His purpose. Do you guys know what that means?
To them that love God, all things work together for good for us according to his purpose. God's purpose. How many of you, however, heard someone say, or maybe you've said it yourself, you did that on purpose.
Have you ever said that, Easton? Have you ever said that you did that on purpose? No, you haven't. Have you ever heard your dad say it?
Maybe. I know I've I've said it. That's an expression we use sometimes. You did that on purpose. If someone did something on purpose, does that mean that they meant to do it?
Yeah, right, Landon, If you do something on purpose, if you go and you help your mom out with the garden.
Even when she didn't ask you to do it and you do it on purpose, does that mean you meant to do it? Yeah, you meant to do it. That was good. We're called according to his purpose.
God wants our good. He wants to bless us. Why? Because it's according to His purpose. He means to do it because He loves us.
According to his purpose.
So when we think about this first, children, we had a small lesson this morning from a puzzle, and you could describe it as a puzzle of our life in Romans 828 in the verse that you learned. Sometimes we don't always see it, but we have things that come along in our life that maybe they don't make much sense, They're confusing. Does God mean it for us to go through that for our good?
Yes, he does.
Sometimes something happens in our life where we go to a Bible conference, like what Tim said, and it's really nice. It's a happy time, it's for our good. And maybe the harder one, those red pieces, Sometimes God has us go through things, go through things that are hard. Maybe we hurt our arm, or maybe we can't go to conference because we're not feeling well.
God means it all for our good, so we can learn.
Just as when we put the puzzle together, it says good. So when you think of things that God has you go through in your life, always remember that He wants to bless you and it's for your good. And that applies to those of us that love Him because we know how much He loves us.
