“We love because he first loved us….Whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen…. Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.”
Parent Note
“I love you” is not just something we say, it’s also something we show with our actions. Talk about how your children know you love them and how you know they love you (e.g. making food, buying clothes, drawing pictures). What are things God has done that show God loves us? For this challenge, brainstorm ways you can show the people in your life love without using words.
