The listening sheep

Have you ever been to a big store and while you fixed your sight on something you got lost?  Who knows the feelings you experienced when you realized you were all by yourself?  And only heavens can tell how worried were the adults who were with you on the day?  They started to look all around for you and even called out your name.  What a sigh of relief were the moments when you recognized their voice and saw them coming towards you!  

Sometimes we lose track in life. When we start to give attention to things which attract us instead of choosing and doing what is right, we get disconnected from God.  Jesus tells us that just as the sheep recognize their shepherd’s voice so must we recognize his call.  

The prayer space we are going to do today with those who share our same household is called: – The Listening Sheep and to do it we need: –

• A sheep finger-puppet template
• Markers and colours
• Scissors

Start by taking some time to think of when you were lost, and Jesus was calling you to follow him again and do what is right.  Jesus calls us through our friends, through those who take care of us and even in our hearts.

5 second pause. 

On a finger puppet sheep, write your name and cut around it.  Do not forget to cut out two small circles for your fingers to fit in.

While you place your fingers in the sheep finger-puppet, pray God to help you listen to his voice and follow him. 

A 10 second pause gathered in prayer.

Bye Bye Friends till we meet again.
