    Bonus Activity<\/strong><\/h5>\n

    The word perpetual<\/strong> means endless, but there are several different ways that this word can be used.\u00a0 When we say that God\u2019s love is perpetual, we mean that it will never end\u2014it will last through all eternity.\u00a0 This is the meaning of perpetual given in Webster\u2019s Definition 1.\u00a0 On the other hand, when we say that a windmill is perpetual, we mean that it keeps moving without a pause.\u00a0 We do not mean that it will continue eternally.\u00a0 The second meaning of perpetual is seen in Webster\u2019s Definition 2.<\/p>\n

    Beside each of the words below, write either eternal<\/strong> or continual<\/strong> to show whether they will last forever, or only for a time.<\/p>\n

    Water going over a waterfall<\/strong><\/p>\n

    Heaven <\/strong><\/p>\n

    The moon orbiting the earth<\/strong><\/p>\n

    The wheels on a car<\/strong><\/p>\n
