New Beginnings

Helping Friends

"Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ."
Galatians 6:2

Reflection

When a friend is sad or struggling, God calls us to help. A hug, a kind word or a hand with something can make a huge difference!

Prayer

Lord, open my eyes to see who needs my help today. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. How can you tell when a friend is having a hard time?
  2. What kind of help do you like to receive?
  3. Who could use a helping hand this week?

5-minute activity

Try to carry a heavy laundry basket alone, then carry it together with someone holding the other side. Talk about how sharing a burden makes it lighter. Pick one person to help this week. Read Galatians 6:2.
