First We asked some questions about Acceptance which is our character trait of the month.
The kids each defined it as they understand it.
They then each gave us what they believed to be the opposite of Acceptance...Rejection.
We then asked them to write down if they had ever been rejected and if they had ever experienced rejection.
They also had to think of someone they knew who exemplified acceptance and also rejection to them.
We then had them read the scripture for the month.
Romans 15:7
Accept one another,then, as Christ accepted you, in order to bring praise to God.
We sat down in front of the computer and watched a you tube video.
make sure to check out this video. (above)
Next week we will continue the dry erase board thought and also work on some great slogans and posters for our home. I have a few more videos and songs selected as well. I am getting some great feedback from the kids and am very happy with the way it is causing them to open up their thoughts to me as well.
Sounds like a very meaningful time planting seeds of acceptance and love in your kids. Thanks for sharing. I enjoyed reading this. (Visiting from Faith Filled Friday linkup.)
ReplyDeleteWe are to love one another, but we are not required to be best friends with everyone. If someone is different we can treat them with respect, and of course being cruel is out of the question. Name calling and playing practical jokes is also taboo. If we are persecuted, we must take it as being abused for righteousness sake. Hopefully no guns pointed at us, and for name calling we can take it.!
ReplyDeleteI agree Hazel, especially about treating them with respect. We can model that respect by respecting ourselves and walking away as soon as possible as well.
