Midweek Devotion

Key verse: "Do to others as you would have them do to you" - Luke 6:31


Read this quote with your family and then talk it over. 
"When I give I give myself."
-Walt Whitman

  • Is it hard to learn to give? Why or why not?
  • In what ways can our family learn to give of itself and put others first?
  • How should we be treading others? Why?
Try This! Have all your family members go through their closets and drawers and pick out clothes they'd like to give away. Put the clothes in a bag, and donate them to a nearby humanitarian organization that is accepting clothing. Then answer these questions as a family:
  • What does it feel like to give away something you've called your own?
  • How will the people feel who are receiving what we've given?
  • How can we be more selfless as a family?
