Objects suggested: A container of pansies or other items from nature as mentioned in the children’s sermon.<\/p>\n
I like to put something from nature on my table, so I can look at it while I enjoy a meal. It is a way of bringing a piece of God’s creation up close; a way to appreciate the beauty of what God has given us. It could be a seashell, an unusual stone, a small pumpkin or gourd, a pine cone, or flowers. Can you think of other things from nature you would like to put on your table.<\/p>\n
Lately I’ve had a pot of beautiful purple pansies on my breakfast table. When I went to the table this morning I saw that the pansies were all drooped over, looking very sad. They needed water. I poured water over the soil and within an hour the pansies had lifted themselves up and were looking happy once again.<\/p>\n
Feeling God’s love is like what happens to pansies when they receive a sprinkling of water. God’s love makes us strong and lifts us up.<\/p>\n
A prophet in the Bible says, “The Spirit of the Lord (God) is on me” (61:1). This prophet goes on to say that God sent him to preach the good news of God’s love to others and to comfort those who are sad.<\/p>\n
When you receive God’s Spirit of Love and have that in your life, you rise up, bringing joy and beauty and comfort to others.<\/p>\n
All around us “the earth brings forth its bud” (61:11). You can bloom too. Rise up with God’s love to do good things for others and for the world.<\/p>\n
