Being Grateful
Play: Have your children talk about the nicest thing someone has done for them this week (for example, a friend dug through the trash to help find a lost toy).
Relay: When someone does something nice and unexpected, it makes us feel grateful. We appreciate what they did because we know it took time, energy, and resources. Many times after someone does something for us, we want to do something nice for them. The Bible says that we love because God first loved us (1 John 4:19). This means that because we experienced God’s love first, we want to show His love to others because we are thankful.
Obey:
How can you show God’s love to others?
What does it mean to be grateful?
What sometimes keeps us from showing God how grateful we are for His love?
Pray: Ask God to help show you ways to show love through His example of His love for you.
Nice, very nice!
