Good morning boys and
girls!
Do you have a favourite
toy or piece of clothing?
How do your treat it? Do
you take care of it or are you rough with it?
All
of us have things that we have to take care of especially if we have received
it as a gift. Do you know someone else who have given us things to take care
of? God has given us things to take care of. Can anyone tell me what they are?
God
wants us to take care of things that he has given us, but he also wants us to
take care of other people, especially the poor. Sometimes that means we have to
sell what we have and give the money to the poor. We can also give anything
that we don’t want or need any more to the poor. When we do this, we will store
up treasures in heaven because we will show that we love others as we love
ourselves and as God loves us.
How
else can we store up treasures in heaven? We can store up treasures by doing
things to help others. For example, we can visit the sick, help to feed the
hungry, cheering up someone who is sad, praying for one another, working in a homeless
shelter, being a friend to someone who is lonely, forgiving someone who has
hurt us or saying you’re sorry when you hurt someone.
Let’s
pray. Dear God, thank you for the treasures we have on earth. Help us to be
faithful each day in building up treasures in heaven. In Jesus’ name we pray,
AMEN.
