When your family gathers, remind yourselves:

Everyday things
For Everyday people
Can be BIG reminders
Of God’s BIG LOVE!

Ask: What is our “everyday thing” this week?

Answer: Table

Put your everyday thing of the week on the table in plain sight of everyone.

Ask: What does it remind us about God’s BIG Love?

Answer: Everyone gives their own answer.

Trusted Adults, guide the conversation around the table.

How many tables do we have in our house? Count the tables in your house or in the part of the house where you are. Why are some tall and some short? Allow for answers. Did you know that some people eat at tables sitting on the floor, or on cushions on the floor? We sit in chairs, usually. The Bible tells us about Jesus feeding people or eating with people a lot. It isn’t just friends or people he knows. Some people are cheaters and liars and thieves. We usually try to stay away from those kind of people, don’t we? Allow for answers. Jesus didn’t just hang out with the good kids, the rich kids, or the “right” kids. Jesus reminded us that we are all God’s kids, and that makes us the “right” kids. It isn’t because of who we know, how we dress, or the number of toys we have. It is just that God loves us. That makes us “the right kids.” What do you think of that? Allow answers.

Do you think that some people might not know that they are the right kids? How could we tell them or remind them that God loves them and we are all God’s kids?

Make a plan to remind someone that they are one of God's kids, one of the right kids.

Then, pray together:

God loves me.
God loves you.
Let’s show God’s love in all we do!
