Our world says we’ll find what we’re looking for by focusing inward. It sends messages like...
Trust in yourself.
Do what feels right to you.
Focus on what you need.
Get more for yourself.
And if we do all these things, we should be feeling great, right?
Well, God’s Word says something different.
Where the world says to trust yourself, God says to TRUST HIM.
Where the world says to do what “feels” right, God says to DO WHAT IS RIGHT.
Where the world says to focus only on yourself, God says to HELP OTHERS.
Where the world says to get more, God says to BE GRATEFUL.
I want my kids to be able to tell the difference between the world’s tugs and God’s truth.
Maybe we can’t change the messages the world sends, but we CAN be intentional about how we teach our kids to respond to those messages. Kids can learn to take a message that the world says and compare it with what the Bible says, replacing any lies with truth. And this can lead to change in our kids’ hearts, which can change our homes, which can change our neighborhoods, which can eventually change the world.
If you want to help your kids learn how to change it up God’s way, while also handling change itself well, I’d love to share my Change It Up activity pages with you!
In this free five-week series, there are interactive story scenarios about a group of animal friends who are seeing some big changes in the forest. There are also Bible verses, family activity ideas, songs, a traceable big idea, and coloring sheets.
Each week has its own Big Idea: trust God, do what’s right, help others, be grateful, and lead others. These Big Ideas help our family set up a theme for the week to guide conversations and do simple (emphasis on the simple!) activities together.
Here’s one of the weeks to give you a better idea of what these are all about.
If you want my Change It Up activity series along with other free resources I’ve created, enter your name and email below.
I hope you and your kiddos enjoy these fun, faith-filled activity pages!
