We each wrote our name on a balloon, then mixed all the balloons up. When I said, "Go!" we each tried to find our own balloon, as fast as we could. It was a little chaotic as we all rushed to find our own balloon.
Next, we tried it a different way. After all the balloons had been batted about the church and muddled up, I asked everyone to pick up the balloon that was closest to them. Then I asked them to read the person's name on the balloon and take the balloon to them.
What a difference! It was so much faster and a whole lot calmer.
We all saw how much better it is when we put others first, when we are givers and when we share God’s love with others!
God’s spirit fills us up - like the air in these balloons - God gives us power that enables us to do God’s work on earth. God inspires us, gives us gifts (talents), and works through us. God expects us to “do something in God’s name.” This is a powerful self-image. We are powerful and God has work for us to do.
Let us pray:
God
Thank you for always being with us.
Thank you for our church family.
Thank you for Your love.
Help us to spread your love to others.
Amen
