* What does it mean to be still?
* You know when Mama tells you we're going to a friend's house to play? You get excited and it is hard to wait! You run around and ask Mama lots and lots of times when we will go? Being still is waiting without all the running around and asking. It is asking one time and then quitely waiting for the time I said.
*It's the same way with God - let's talk about it more tomorrow!
