Just the little bits adding to the whole:

Sometimes we may not think the activities we do every day don’t make much of an influence to others. I would like to present how little acts of kindness, compassion, sharing the word of God can influence others in a positive way. I hope this theme will be of interest to youth ministries, family devotional, family counselors and family home evenings.

Years ago I heard a story of a kid who was walking home from school. It was his plan to commit suicide during the weekend. But on the way home, another kid showed friendship and they walked home together. They became friends and through the years enjoyed  the adventures of school together.

The first kid during a speech during their senior graduation admitted to the student audience that  he wouldn’t be alive now except for his friend showing friendship at a crucial time with his wife.

When I see the people around me I see a lot of talented individuals. I think many people don’t realize how cool they are. I know some people who have delightful personalities. I see others who have great talents and some who seem to be brilliant in their specific areas of skill. Many of us get discouraged and may not see how highly others may think highly of us.  Today’s lesson is about the little things in our lives.

Object lesson: With a pile of Legos/blocks /bricks or pennies construct a wall or some figure. Making of the object out of many smaller objects takes time and organization. This is a good way to show how all the many things can contribute to the whole.

Just like all the little pieces can make a bigger object by working together, so I’ll little acts of kindness, friendship, generosity, or sharing the gospel Jesus Christ can add a positive influence to others.

It just this theme, please do so in the comment section this blog. Thanks.
