Free Cut and Paste Bible Verse Fun: Verses About Rest

Kids aren’t often known for being fans of rest. Whether it’s nap time, bedtime, or just down time, they often resist it. It’s important to help them learn not just when to take a physical break but when to take a heart and mind break, to pause from what they want to be doing or even need to be doing and focus their attention on Jesus. It’s a habit they will have the chance to practice for the rest of their lives.
