Every Christmas Eve, I share a children’s message near the beginning of the service. I always try to have something to give to the kids to help them remember the point of the message. One year I decided to focus on John 3:16 and purchased the stress balls that look like the earth for the kids. (I even wrote “For God so loved the World….” on 72 balls.) Well, the message went well, the kids loved their gift. The problem? Our church floor slants slightly towards the alter. For the rest of the service, little earthly stress balls kept rolling to the front of the sanctuary!
