How to React When Your World Falls Apart II

PICKING UP THE PIECES AND MAKING A PLAN

Last week we started looking at how to react when your world falls apart. We discussed that when something terrible happens in our life the first thing that we need to do is to keep in touch with someone (a friend or a family member). We also decided that most important person to keep in touch (talk to) is God.

This week we continued along this theme with talking about how to pick up the pieces and make a plan. But before we started talking about this heavy stuff, we played a few lighthearted games....









Our first game was a coordination challenge .... where we had to cross our arms over, peel a mandarin and feed it to our partner!!! ...... fun .... & ..... sticky







Next we tried to see how many we could fit into a cube that was 1m x 1m..........

We'll have to see if we can break the record next week!!

















In this game we had a wacky relay race where we had to blow the ping pong ball across the hall towards each other...... we now know that ping pong balls don't always blow straight ahead.














After these few games we split into groups to discuss different crises situations. We discussed how the people in each situation could pick up the pieces (picking out the positive things that are left) and make a plan (using the positive things to continue living).


Thanks to you that shared about the times when it felt like your world was falling apart and how you dealt with it. We truelly hope that no one will have to use what we practiced tonight, but we also know that most of you will probably will have to some time in your life......

And when that time comes remember that the best friend that you can have is God, because even though He allows these things to happen even to people who love Him, He has promised that everything that happens to them that love Him will be for their good.


Looking forward to seeing you all again on Friday


Luv

Your DZ Leaders
