Family Day 17: Unity Sculptures
Dive into the Word
"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." -John 13:34-35 (NKJV)
Family Moment
As followers of Jesus, we're unified through God's Spirit. Why is it sometimes hard to be unified with others? God knows it's hard for us to get along with other people sometimes. Thankfully we have the gift and the power of the Holy Spirit to help us love all people, even when it's hard. Practice unity as a family by gathering some modeling clay or dough and straws, and construct a creative sculpture where everyone builds an important part and all the parts fit together. As you work, brainstorm ways your family can show God's love to others in the week ahead.
Let's Pray!
- Jesus tells us that He will know we are following Him when we love one another. Is there anyone in your life that is hard to love?
- Everyone has found it hard to get along at one time or another. We can ask the Holy Spirit to help us love those around us!
- Pray: "God, help me to show love to others just as You have asked us to. Thank You for giving me people to show love to. In Jesus' name. Amen."
