Counselor
With your child, talk about obstacles that might be in the way when walking to another room in your house. Then blindfold the child and guide her to her destination using only your voice. Redirect or comfort your child if she goes in the wrong direction.
Sometimes it feels like we’re wearing a blindfold because we don’t know how to work through a tough situation, like when we have disagreements with friends or are tempted to do things we shouldn’t do. One of Jesus’ names is Counselor. A counselor listens, guides and comforts. Jesus can guide us through any situation or problem because He sees and knows everything.
Scripture
About this Plan
As Matthew 20:28 tells us, "the son of man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many." Families can follow Christ's example by serving others. For each day of Advent, we have found scripture and a family activity or conversation to talk about and show what it means to be the hands and feet of Jesus, so that we may all "Know Him By Name."
