Object:
one or two suitcases (carry them in a way that makes them
appear very heavy)
(Approach the front of the sanctuary from the rear, carrying
the two suitcases. As you walk, walk slowly and make it appear
that the suitcases are very heavy.) Good morning, boys and girls.
Am I glad to sit down. These suitcases are very heavy. Have you
ever had to carry anything that was heavy? Were you able to ask
your parents to help you? (Let them answer.) What have you had to
carry that was heavy? (Let them answer.) When your parents or a
friend shared your heavy load it was a relief, wasn't it? It's a
great feeling to have a friend or parent share your heavy load.
