Life is like a schoolyard without a fence next to a well-trafficked road. This power verse acts like a fence to help you not get hit by life's "cars".

1. The Schoolyard
Illustration

2. This is a schoolyard

3. And this is the school

4. When the schoolyard is
surrounded by heavily
trafficked streets but has
no fence,

5. many children will tend to
play close to the school wall
for saftey

6. But some can forget the
danger, following the
ball as it rolls into traffic

7. The principal cared about the
childrens' safety and built
a fence around the schoolyard
to keep the kids safe within the fence

8. Now, all the kids could play
freely and safely throughout the
schoolyard

9. Life is like a schoolyard

10. Freedom from danger is found
within the fence

11. We are here to learn,
make friends and
have fun!

12. Without a fence, we can easily
fall into danger by "following
the ball" ...

13. We can cause ourselves
a lot of trouble and harm
outside of the green area

14. We read in the Bible that God has given
us 2 simple rules to live by so that we
can live in freedom within their
boundaries - just like the fence.

15. #1. Love the Lord your God
with all your life
LUKE10:27

16. #2. Love your neighbour as
you love yourself
LUKE10:27

17. If we all lived by these 2 rules,
the world would be a great"schoolyard".
Don't you think so?
