* | Be aware that children might find the concept of "being filled" with God rather strange, even worrying. The word 'spirit' has many connotations in everyday life | |
** | Try to follow up with a story about someone who did his or her best but never got very far... until s/he learned about being filled with the Spirit and then God was able to work through him/her in a wonderful way. (Perhaps one of the teachers or helpers can do this.) | |
*** | Explore briefly how the children might be used by God once "filled". Be specific and use everyday examples. | |
**** | You might also want to add that the balloon did not have any choice about being filled with air... but we have a choice about being filled with God... and by how much... He does not force us to accept Him. |
