From grocery store lines that feel endless to ice cream shops that run out of sprinkles, the Jones kids get more practice with patience than they ever expected. Allison wrestles with a juice-soaked chore chart, Addison faces the tragedy of “emotional starvation,” and Ana discovers that even chocolate sprinkles can surprise you when you give them a chance. With Dad’s reminder to Wait, Breathe, Pray, the whole family learns that patience isn’t boring—it’s brave. By the end of the week, they discover that waiting with trust makes every blessing taste a little sweeter.

Storms don’t just happen outside—they sometimes rumble through the Jones house too. From toppled chore charts and board game meltdowns to spilled grape juice and soggy shoes, each child faces their own “inside weather.” With Dad’s new family tool—Count, Cool, Choose—the kids learn how to pause, breathe, and respond instead of exploding. Through laughter, mistakes, and even a church object lesson with a pressure cooker and a teapot, the Jones family discovers that anger doesn’t have to leave a mess. When storms roll in, patience, forgiveness, and God’s Word can always bring the sunshine back.

Friendliness Week continues, and the Jones kids soon discover that kindness takes creativity—and sometimes courage. Allison’s careful “Friendliness Plan” gets tested when a classmate stumbles, Addison helps turn a cafeteria spill into teamwork, and Ava Grace shows even a grumpy neighbor the gentleness of a kind word. From church greeter duty to a Saturday service project, the family learns that friendliness isn’t just a school assignment—it’s hospitality with shoes on, walking across streets, sitting with the lonely, and even rebuilding fences. By week’s end, the Joneses discover that every “hello” leaves a door open for God to work.
