FRUIT OF THE SPIRIT: JOY

1 SAMUEL 23; PSALM 23

Discuss

This Sunday we focused on the fruit of JOY! In both pre-school and elementary GrowKids, we looked at David and even in the midst of difficult situations, he had JOY! The challenge we discussed is how to have JOY even when life is not treating us well. Read through Psalm 23 as a family and talk about the ways that David expresses JOY even when walking through the Valley of the Shadow of Death – where does he see God’s protection and comfort which brings David JOY.

Weekly Challenge

Our JOY FRUIT CHALLENGE this week is to give 3 genuine compliments to others. You may want to make this a challenge for everyone to practice giving compliments and encouragement because we feel joy when we make others feel better. This is also a great quality for your children to embrace – complimenting others. Don’t forget to sign and return the Family Card from this week so they can earn points during our ON THE FARM series.
