Only for You

Not everyone who can sing well will become famous. The fastest runner at your school might not make it to the Olympics. Sometimes we think that to be the best means that the whole world will notice us. But God didn’t give us gifts so that we could be famous; he gave us gifts so that we can show the world his love.

God wants you to do your best with the skills that he has given you, but most of all, he wants you to do it with a good heart.

Prayer: God, thank you for the gifts you have given us. Help us to do our best with these gifts. We trust that you will show us how to use them for others’ good and your glory. 

Activity: write down something that the person sitting on your left is really good at. Take a moment as a family to acknowledge each of the strengths that were written down. 

Did you know... 

A dung beetle is the strongest insect in the world? They can pull over 1,000 times their body weight, which would be like one of us pulling six double-decker buses full of passengers! When insects play tug-of-war, you can bet the dung beetle gets chosen to be on a team first.
