“They walk too slow.”
Tonight, I helped Angela in the 4 and 5 year-old class. The lesson was about the children of Israel in the wilderness. Angela asked them why the Israelites were still in the desert. One little boy said, “Because they walk too slow!” Hahaha We couldn’t help but laugh out loud. It was so cute!
While his answer was very cute, the correct answer really made me start thinking. The Israelites were still in the wilderness because they were complaining. They complained A LOT! After all God had done for them, they still whined. Nothing was enough to please them.
When we read the story, we tend to roll our eyes and think, “Seriously?! Why can’t you people be happy?” But we are just like them. Americans can never get enough. We always complain and want something new and better. We have a hard time being content with what we have. I definitely struggle with this. I complain about things, but I am very blessed. I need to work on being more thankful and content instead of complaining about silly things.
