We embarked on a service project that our church does every summer to help fill backpacks with school supplies for families that can't afford them. Lily & Lacy helped me organize and fill our 5 backpacks today, while we worked, I thought it was a great opportunity to talk about why God blesses us and what He expects us to do with those blessings.
Me, "God has given us so many blessings and when you've been given so much, He expects you to bless others by sharing what you have. We have enough food, enough clothes, enough school supplies so we're able to give what we have to someone else who needs it"
15 minutes or so later.....
Me, "So, why does God bless us?"
Lacy, "Our blessing is that God didn't want us to sleep outside when it's winter time and it's cold and so we didn't have to build an igloo and sleep on the ice cubes"
Maybe we'll keep working on that one...
