Have you ever had mixed up feelings?

 

Like feeling excited and scared at the same time? Or feeling sad and proud? That’s how I’ve been feeling! I’ve been sad about people who are sick, afraid, and angry, but also proud to see stories of people helping and protecting others and trying to do what is right and loving the way that Jesus loves.

 

When things feel mixed up, it is good to remember that God’s Spirit is always with us and will help us, even when scary things like storms happen around us. Let’s sing about that.

But how do we know that God’s Spirit is always with us?

Talk with your family:

Galatians 5:22-23

But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

 

Talk with your family:

 

What are some ways we can do actions that show the fruit of the Spirit in us this week?

 

The sad things I have seen this week make me want to pray for and show peace. Will you join me in praying for and showing peace by listening to this song and then talking about ways to extend peace to others?
