Thanks Without Comparing
"But let each one examine his own work."Galatians 6:4
Reflection
Comparison and gratitude do not live together. When we stare too long at someone else’s plate, we forget what is on our own.
Prayer
God, help me look at my own blessings. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why don't comparison and gratitude get along?
- What happens when we stare at someone else's plate?
- What is on your own plate to be thankful for?
5-minute activity
Set two plates on the table. Put good things on yours, like a drawing or a snack, and just look at the other plate. Talk about what we miss when we compare. Read Galatians 6:4.
