Teaching Our Kids to Wait Upon The Lord
Esther: The Belle of Patience, the second book of the Bible Belles Series, Rooney Cruz continues her adventures with Mari, her guardian angel. As Rooney faces dilemma on the soccer field, Mari appears again to help her deal with the situation.
Again, they travel back to the past and there she meets Queen Esther. Despite being a queen, Esther didn’t approach the king hastily to present her plea (to save her people), but instead she waited patiently for God’s direction and perfect timing. As Rooney watches the life of Esther, she learns to deal with her own conflicts as Esther did.
Our children will learn from the book of Esther: The Belle of Patience that they may have to wait or take some time before a need is attended or a request is fulfilled. It is crucially important to teach our young children the power of patience, so they will not misbehave or react impulsively when face with conflicts or challenges in the future. Teaching our children the virtue of patience in their toddler years will not be difficult and they will learn to develop calmness and tranquility as they grow.
“Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6).
Esther: The Belle of Patience is a perfect tool to help us teach our children the power of patience. The power of patience is strengthened by adding the which Rooney learns from Hannah: The Belle of Prayer. When our children learn to pray earnestly and wait patiently, we equip them with the superpowers against the works of the enemy. Teaching them the power of prayer and the power of patience builds and strengthens their character as Bible Belles in our present time. We teach them to put their trust in God as they wait patiently in prayer upon His direction and timing.
“I wait for the LORD, my whole being waits, and in his word I put my hope.” (Psalm 130: 5).
“But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.” (Isaiah 40:31).
The book of Esther: The Belle of Patience is very captivating to the little girls in your family. It is written and illustrated creatively and colorfully that you and your kids will really enjoy.
