Love Journal For this activity you’ll need paper and a writing utensil, or family members can choose to type their responses on an electronic device. Say: In this week’s story from the Bible, we saw love described indifferent ways. It’s patient and kind. It doesn’t brag or get angry easily. Love doesn’t want what belongs to others, and it doesn’t look out only for itself. Now think about our family. Do you show love to your family members that way? None of us loves perfectly, but God shows us how to love. We can ask Him to help us love like He does. Each person can write a journal reflecting on the ways she shows love to others. When does she show patience and kindness? Where does she need the Holy Spirit’s help to love more like God loves? As family members journal, they can write prayers asking the Holy Spirit to help them in the areas where they don’t show love as God loves. Younger children can draw pictures that show how they love. Showing Love For this activity, set aside time as a family to brainstorm and get creative together! Talk with your kids: In this week’s story from the Bible, we learned about different words that describe love. Love is patient and kind, it looks out for other people, and it always protects. God shows us how to love this way. Let’s try to show others love like God does! As a family, pick a person whom you want to love well. You may each pick a person or decide on one person to love together. Then pick one of the characteristics of love from 1 Corinthians 13, and do an act of love for the person you chose that reflects this characteristic. For example, you might show patient love by helping a younger child with homework, or kind love by baking cookies for a neighbor. Before you begin, pray together, asking the Holy Spirit to show your family who needs to see God’s love and to show your family how to love like God does. WALKING IN LOVE LESSON 2
