Christ's love ignites our inner flame and it's our responsibility to shine for others.
For Christians, it's a priviledge to care for and help others, just as God cares for and loves us. And once we've heard the good news of Jesus' love, it's impossible for us to keep it to ourselves.
As Christians we want to our children to learn this concept. Need some ideas? Check these out:
- Look to your Children's Passions for ideas:
If your kids loves animals, walk dogs at an animal shelter together. If they love making crafts, deliver seasonal gifts to nursing- home residents. - Start Small:
Your family can make an impact without going on a long mission trip. Begin with a project that takes an hour or two a month, and then grow from there. - Invite Friends:
It's as simple as inviting your friends and family to church events. Make sure they are comfortable and to thank them afterwards.
And ofcourse, never underestimate the power of prayer:
Ask God:
1. To show you meaningful ways to serve as a family.
2. To provide opportunities for you to tell others about him.
3. To help you do everything in loving response to his love.
“Remember these commands and cherish them. Tie them on
your arms and wear them on your foreheads as a reminder.
Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at
home and when you are away, when you are resting and when
you are working.” Deuteronomy 11:18-19
