Spiritual Preparation
Read over the story of "The Brave Little Parrot" and try to put yourself in his/her shoes. Have you ever felt so passionate about something that you worked for it even when no one else would take a stand? Try to remember how that felt to you spiritually. What do you feel most passionate or concerned about now? Take a moment to close your eyes and feel the passion and compassion that lives in your heart. On a more practical level, have you persevered toward a goal in life such as a career, or a cause, or with a challenging relationship or illness? Give yourself credit for the patience and diligence you found to carry on despite the challenges. Is there a short personal story that you could share with your Sunday school students? In this session we move from listening to a folktale to looking at true life stories. Take some time to think about a people whose courage, faith and diligence has particularly inspired you. Perhaps this is a story that you could share with your students as well.
