AUGUST 23 - AUGUST 29
Kindness
Hey Lightglider!
This is the last week of our Unit on Creation. Understanding that we were created by God and for God can and should deeply affect our daily lives. This week we’re talking about KINDNESS, which is an attribute of God that we can reflect. So, we don’t just want to talk about kindness this week, we want to show it! To be kind means to be friendly, generous, and considerate. Our theme verse this week is Colossians 3:12 (NLT): “Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.”
This verse tells us to clothe ourselves with lots of different character qualities. Have you ever thought about that? You can choose to put qualities like kindness on like you put on your clothes in the morning. Just like we pick out which shirt or pair of shoes we are going to wear, we can choose to be kind, humble, gentle, and patient throughout our day. Clothing ourselves with kindness is a powerful way to show God’s character to the world around us. The Bible also tells us in Romans 2:4 that God’s kindness is what leads us to Him in the first place. So pick up kindness and put it on like a jacket. Wear it everywhere you go!
Glide On!

Things to Think About This Week:
Take some time this week to pick up kindness and wear it around your family and friends! Here are some reflection questions that will help.
• Read Colossians 3:12-15 in your Bible. What character qualities do you clothe yourself with each day?
• In what ways can you show kindness to others?
• Who shows kindness to you? How do they do it?
• Where could you show more kindness?
• When has someone been kind to you?
