Joseph Trusted
"Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take to you Mary your wife."Matthew 1:20
Reflection
Joseph could have walked away and stayed. He chose to care, even with the whole town talking.
Prayer
Father, give me courage to do right even when people stare. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- What could Joseph have done, and didn't?
- Why is it hard to do right when others are talking?
- How did Joseph take care of Mary and Jesus?
5-minute activity
Build a small house together from cardboard or blocks, like Joseph the carpenter. While you build, talk about Joseph choosing to care and protect. Read Matthew 1:18-25.
