SHOWING KINDNESS TO OTHERS
TALKING TO GOD
Thank God for your family and friends. Ask Him to help you always treat other people with kindness.
DIVING IN
Before mealtime, have each family member gather five shirts. Any style will work. The idea is to have a stash of shirts to pull from. As you prepare for dinner — setting the table, filling drinks, serving food — kindly offer to help one another with tasks. You may also compliment a task well done: "Wow, Mom! This smells great." As you are kind to another member of your family, put on one of your shirts. The goal is to put on all your shirts.
GOING DEEPER
Each shirt you put on was a symbol of the kindness you showed to a member of your family. You were demonstrating the action of Colossians 3:12. In that verse, God tells us to clothe ourselves with kindness. As you did and said kind things, you were showing the kindness that comes from God.
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
- Tell about some ways other people have shown kindness to you
- How can you show kindness? Why is this important?
Scripture
About this Plan
Kindness is a part of God’s nature, and as people made in His image, it’s part of ours, too. But sometimes we just don’t feel like being kind. In this four-day study, you and your children will be reminded of God’s kindness toward us and explore practical ways to reflect His kindness in our everyday relationships. Each day includes a prayer prompt, brief Scripture reading and explanation, hands-on activity, and discussion questions.
