40 Days of Love Testimonies

Here are some awesome testimonies from the kids about how they incorporated what we've been learning about love at home! Every week, each kid got a take-home paper with a recap of what we learned that Sunday and an opportunity to let us know how they've been practicing that particular lesson throughout the week. These stories are great! And so encouraging! I hope you enjoy :)

Answers when asked how they showed love by putting others first - "I helped my sister find her shoes.", "There was a taco left and I really wanted it but I gave it away to my friend. It felt good."


Answers to the question, "What is the difficult part about being unselfish?" - "Sharing things you don't want to.", "Cause sometimes it involves stuff we don't want it to involve.", "Letting someone go first."


Ways that they decided to be unselfish, even though it was hard - "I let my brother go first on the swing.", "I shared my toys.", "I let my brother and sister go into my room", "I let my friends use things of mine even when I didn't want them to."


Here's another testimony that was written out by a 2nd-grader - "I helped my sister clean her room. It felt good. He gave me the strength to do it."


Amen! Even though these things seem so small to us as adults, these decisions can be HUGE for kids, yet they still decided to show love even when it was hard. And they recognize that it's God that's giving them the strength to do it :)
