- Read I Timothy 6:18
"Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share."
- Give the gift to one child to open.
- Ask that child how it feels to open such a treat.
- Talk with all the children about special gifts your family has received in the past.
- Point out the gifts God gives us all the time (food, a smile, talents, a house, etc.).
- Use the verse to explain that God instructs us to share what we have.
- Use the M&M's to show your children how you will use the gift from one child to share with lots of people.
- Combine the M&M's to make a treat for your postal carrier, bus driver and/or Sunday school teacher.
- Package the treats to give away and thank your children for being willing to share.
- Pray with your family. Ask God to give you a heart that is always generous and willing to share.
