God's Love

Loving Our Neighbor

"You shall love your neighbor as yourself."
Mark 12:31

Reflection

Your neighbor is whoever is near you right now. The kid at the next desk, your brother, the person nobody is talking to.

Prayer

Jesus, help me love whoever is next to me today. Amen!

Talk about it as a family

  1. Who is your neighbor right now?
  2. What does it mean to love someone as yourself?
  3. Who is nobody talking to at your school?

5-minute activity

Bake cookies or make a card and take it to a real neighbor, or write a kind note for a classmate who is often alone. Talk about who counts as a neighbor. Read Mark 12:30-31.
