(Start with heart at the bottom.)
Have you ever felt sad...Where your heart just felt upside-down.
(Pull taught and hold heart upside-down at the top.)
Mom forgot your lunch. (Let heart fall a little.)
Dad forgot to play with you. (Let heart fall a little.)
And your teacher forgot to call on you. (Let heart fall to the bottom.)
You might feel sad and angry. (Turn heart right side up at top of string.)
And then your heart is stuck. (Shake the heart a little to show it's stuck.)
But then you remember to think about God. (Let heart fall a little.)
And how much He loves you. (Let heart fall a little.)
And how much He cares for you. (Let heart fall to the bottom.)
Then all of a sudden you feel better. Your heart feels free! (Swing the heart back
and forth.)
But then maybe something happens to make you feel grumpy again. (Pull taught
and hold heart upside-down at the top.)
And you are feeling low. (Let heart fall to the bottom.)
But this time you remember to think about God's love for you right away. (Turn
heart right side up at top of string.)
In fact, you think of a Bible verse about God's love for you. (Let heart fall a little.)
You even think of a song about God's love for you. (Let heart fall to the bottom.)
And once again your heart is free and you are carefree! (Swing the heart back and
forth.)
So remember, the next time your heart feels topsy-turvy (Pull taught and hold
heart upside-down at the top.)
And things don't go your way. (Let fall to bottom.)
Turn your thinking around to God. (Turn heart right side up at top of string.)
And He will set your heart free! (Let heart fall to the bottom.)
