Our grandkids are bombarded with so many messages from their TVs, tablets, social media, and school hallways…and so few of those messages are life-giving and truth-filled.
Let’s make sure that our time with them is different…filled with laughter, hugs, and a good measure of inspiration. God charges us with talking about his truth when we sit in our homes, walk along the road, when we lie down and when we get up (Deut. 6:6-7). May our favorite littles see and feel God’s love and truth shining from us!
The quick and easy object lesson below is a great tool for showing your grandkids the life-giving concept that they can grow strong in spirit just like they grow strong in body and mind. So what does it mean to be “strong in spirit”? It means that we…
- know the difference between right and wrong.
- try to do what’s right and ask God for help when we’re tempted to do wrong.
- want to spend time with God; talking to him and learning about him.
- have God’s strength in us to face hard things.
- have patience and love for others.
This activity is best for ages 5-12, takes 5-10 minutes, and only requires a piece of paper and a pen! Click the lesson page for your free pdf. 😊
May your whole spirit, soul (mind), and body be kept safe and be without wrong when Jesus returns.
1 Thessalonians 5:23
