Planting Seeds Of Biblical Truth: The Family Devotional GuideSample

# Showing Kindness #### #### TALKING TO GOD Thank God for your family and friends. Ask Him to help you always treat other people with kindness. #### DIVING IN Before mealtime, have each family member gather five shirts. Any style will do. The idea is to have a stash of shirts to pull from. As you prepare for dinner – setting the table, filling drinks, serving food – kindly offer to help one another with tasks. You may also compliment a task well done: “Wow, Mum! This smells great.” As you are kind to another member of your family, put on one of your shirts. The goal is to put on all of your shirts. #### GOING DEEPER Each shirt you put on was a symbol of kindness you showed to a member of your family. You demonstrated the action of Colossians 3:12. In that verse, God tells us to clothe ourselves with kindness. As you did and said kind things, you were showing kindness that comes from God. #### TALKING TO EACH OTHER * Share some ways others have shown kindness to you. * How can you show kindness? Why is this important?
