David and Jonathan
"The soul of Jonathan was knit to the soul of David."1 Samuel 18:1
Reflection
Jonathan was the king’s son and gave up the throne for his friend. Real friendship does not compete, it cheers.
Prayer
God, teach me to cheer for my friends. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What did Jonathan give up for David?
- Why doesn't real friendship compete?
- How can you cheer for a friend?
5-minute activity
Jonathan gave David his robe and his bow. Choose something small to give a friend, like a drawing or a bracelet, along with a note cheering them on. Read 1 Samuel 18:1-4.
