Application • Each yo-yo looks a little different, but all yo-yos are made the same way. • Hold up a dangling yoyo, string unwound. This string is attached to a post inside the yo-yo.

When you hold on to your string and drop your yo-yo, the yo-yo spins up and down the string. www.CreativeObjectLessons.com

This yo-yo reminds me of the Christian life. God puts us down on earth.

(Spin the yo-yo down.)

We spin around for awhile, but eventually we need God’s power to keep on spinning. (Take the yo-yo up). Like the string, we are connected to God by prayer and worship.

Even though we’re on earth, God wants us to aim for the things in heaven. God wants us to remember that we belong to him. If we run out of strength down here (let the yo-yo stop its spin), God reaches down and gathers us back up (wind the yo-yo up). And one day God will take us up to heaven to be with him forever.

• In the meantime, as Christian yo-yos we keep spinning around, living on earth (spin the yo-yo down), but always connected to God up in heaven (take the yo-yo up).
