Hold up a good-sized piece of clear plastic. On the plastic, have one very dirty spot. Ask the Children what is the first thing they notice. (The dirty spot) Tell hem that if Jesus were to see the glass, he would see good, clean spot.
Sometimes, when we meet someone new, we don’t see the good part right away; we see the differences – how they are taller or shorter, darker or lighter, bigger or smaller… Jesus would want us to see the good and the similarities we have with each person we meet. For just like us, each on is special because each one is a Child of God.
PRAYER: Thank you Jesus for teaching us to be more like you and to see the good things in people first and to the smudges.
