The SchoolyardIllustration

This is a schoolyard

And this is the school

When the schoolyard is surrounded by heavily

trafficked streets but hasno fence,

many children will tend toplay close to the school wall

for saftey

But some can forget thedanger, following the

ball as it rolls into traffic

The principal cared about thechildrens' safety and built

a fence around the schoolyard to keep the kids safe within the fence

Now, all the kids could playfreely and safely throughout the

schoolyard

Life is like a schoolyard

Freedom from danger is found within the fence

We are here to learn,make friends and

have fun!

Without a fence, we can easilyfall into danger by "following

the ball" ...

We can cause ourselvesa lot of trouble and harmoutside of the green area

We read in the Bible that God has givenus 2 simple rules to live by so that we

can live in freedom within theirboundaries - just like the fence.

#1. Love the Lord your Godwith all your life

LUKE 10:27

#2. Love your neighbour as you love yourself

LUKE 10:27

If we all lived by these 2 rules, the world would be a great"schoolyard".

Don't you think so?
