Jesus showed that God made us with worth, as seen in this week’s Bible story from Matthew 19 and Mark 10. People were bringing their children to Jesus, hoping He would bless them. But when the disciples rebuked them, Jesus grew upset. He invited the children to come to Him, saying that the kingdom of God belongs to them. Kids can know that God made them with worth right here and now. Find times this week to tell your kids, “You are so loved and valued!” Do this at random times (not when your kids do something special) so kids know their value is not in what they do but who they are.

In this week’s Bible story, Jesus taught that people who follow Him are to love even when it costs them something and even if they are not shown love and kindness in return. Jesus taught that we are to even love our enemies. Kids learned that Jesus is our example of how to love. As you are out and about this week, talk about times when it is hard to love others and times when it is easy. Help your kids see that they can love like Jesus, even when it is hard.

Gather some paper and pencils, then pair family members together. One will be the “artist” and the other will be the “guide.” The artists will close their eyes and try to draw something (like a house or bicycle) based only on the guides’ verbal instructions. Switch roles and play again. Share that, like the artist trusted the guide, we can trust God like Jesus did.
