New Beginnings

Giving With Joy

"Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over."
Luke 6:38

Reflection

When we give with joy, God gives back so much more! That goes for love, care, time and even things. Being generous is a way of being like God!

Prayer

Father, help me share with joy everything You have given me. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. What can we give besides things?
  2. How do you feel when you give something with joy?
  3. What could our family give this week?

5-minute activity

Pour rice or beans into a cup, press it down, shake it and keep filling until it spills over a tray. Talk about God's generous measure. Then choose something together to give away. Read Luke 6:38.
