Hurt & Help

The past two Sundays have continued 50 Days of Hope for kids! We talked about HURT two weeks ago, and HELP this past Sunday.

Our Bottom Line for HURT was: I can show God's love even when I'm hurt. We talked about how all of us have been hurt by someone else. Not just hurt physically, but hurt in our hearts. What do we do with that hurt? It's very easy to try to get back at that person. Or just decide to stay angry with them. But God wants us to do what can be sometimes difficult. He wants us to forgive. To show kindness and love in response to the hurt in our hearts. A good way to do that is to pray for that person that has hurt us.

But how do we do that? It sometimes seems too hard to do on our own. Well, we can't do it on our own, and this is where this past Sunday's lesson comes in. HELP. Our Bottom Line was: The Holy Spirit is my Helper. God helps us by be what He wants us to be by giving us help. He doesn't leave us to figure things out on our own. He has given each of His children the promise of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit lives inside of us and brings back to remembrance everything He has taught us. He also teaches us new things so we can be more like Him.

Our friend Horatio learned about this too.



It's pretty amazing how the Holy Spirit helps us be more like Jesus. Next week, we'll be talking about Harmony, so make sure you're here to find out how God wants us to treat our friends and family.

See you on Sunday!
