Before we get to the questions to ponder this week, HERE'S A REMINDER FOR NEXT SUNDAY (EASTER):
On Easter Sunday, youth and adults will meet in the Family Room to share breakfast and talk about our experiences in studying the Jesus Creed.
Here are some questions we might talk about:
What did you enjoy most in this study?
What did you find the most challenging?
What does it mean to you to love God with ALL your mind, heart, soul, strength?
What does it mean to love our neighbors? Who are they?
What do you want to take from this study into your everyday life?
We hope you can all make it on Sunday. But if you can't, please feel free to share your thoughts in the comments below.
And now, here are This Week’s Questions for Discussion:
(Things to talk about with your family)
- How does it feel to know that you are what others see of Jesus in this world?
- How does that affect the way you live each day?
This Week’s Suggested Follow-up Activities:
(Additional actions you can try if you feel led)
- Recite the Jesus Creed and the Lord’s prayer daily.
- Make a list of ways you can be a part of God’s work on earth (ministry) right now.
- Pick something from that list and talk about how you can start doing that now.
I've been thinking about what unconditional love looks like and how we live out that grace in our lives. Came across this quote attributed to Mother Teresa today:
ReplyDelete“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway.
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
The good you do today may be forgotten tomorrow. Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may never be enough. Give your best anyway.
For you see, in the end, it is between you and God. It was never between you and them anyway.”
That's living in grace!
