Let there be love

All You Do

What do you do each day? Get up, use the bathroom, have breakfast, go to school or work . . . . The list could go on forever to say everything that everyone does.

Do you ever think about your attitude to what you do? Are you sometimes grumpy or selfish? It is your turn first in the bathroom, or it is your favourite cereal so you're going to finish it, even if your brother also likes it!

Be Done In Love

Maybe we could all find a bit more love in the way we do things. We are taught by Jesus to put other's needs before our own, to care for someone else before ourselves.

Do you do that?

Whether we're at home, work, school or out and about there are ways that we can do all that we do in love.

Are you good at maths but your friend isn't. Could you offer to help them out?

Have you got a skill that it would be great to teach others?

Could you do a bit more around the house, or at least do your chores without the grumbling and moaning?

Were you respectful to the shop worker or teacher?

Think before you act or speak

One way to check out that you are being loving is to just take a moment before you act or speak. Be careful of your words and attitudes and don't just react with fire.

Find a better way, or word, or time.

Praise today

What is Praise? The Oxford dictionary tell us that praise is expressing approval for someone or something or showing respect and gratitude, particularly towards God. Other words that can mean the same (synonyms) are worship, glory, exalt, honour. We tell children 'well done' when we are pleased with them. We praise God because of who He is and what He has done. How do we praise? We use songs and hymns in church to help us praise. Whilst we aren't at church there are loads of resources online, particularly YouTube. 🎜🎜🎝🎜🎜 These songs are good to remind us of all the amazing things God has done and who He is. King of Kings, Faithful One, Almighty, Saviour, and so many other names. Many people find this the easiest way to express these ideas. But we don't have to sing to praise!

Old Testament Activity The Bible is divided into two big parts, the Old and New Testaments. These are then divided into books.

Choose Your Words Carefully Have you ever been upset by something someone has said to you. Or maybe it was the way it was said that hurt you. Remember that as you speak to others. Choose words that are caring and be careful to not be mean. Because, if kind words are sweet like honey, mean words are like thorns. They dig in and hurt when you say them, and they keep hurting for sometime afterwards too. Kind words So what would be kind things to say? Complements about something someone has done, made or said. Or grown, baked, drawn, mended . . . the list could go on forever Or that you like something they are wearing. This can be hard and against our natural inclination. I see people wearing something cool but I'm not brave enough to say, which is a shame because I feel good when someone says something to me. 👕 👠 👟 👖 👗 It could be caring words asking how someone is or offering help when it is needed.
