Learning To Be Faithful

 

TALKING TO GOD

Thank God for His willingness to teach you how to be faithful to Him with the gifts and talents He has given you.

DIVING IN

Choose one person, and have everyone in the family suggest a few ideas about what the person does well. Then vote on those ideas to figure out which of those things the person does best. Repeat this activity for each person in your family.

GOING DEEPER

Jesus told the story of the master who entrusted three servants with different amounts of money before he left on a trip. When the master returned, he found that one servant had doubled the money he had been given. To this servant, the master said: “Well done, good and faithful servant. You have been faithful over a little; I will set you over much. Enter into the joy of your master” (Matthew 25:21). On the other hand, the master did not like it when one servant buried his money. The master said that this servant had not been faithful with what he was given. God has given you gifts and talents. He wants you to use them faithfully to serve God and others.

TALKING TO EACH OTHER

• What did your family say you do best? Do you agree?  If not, what do you think you excel at?
• How can you use your talents to serve God?
• How can you improve in this area? •  What can your family do to help you become better at doing this?
