Contentment with Ch rist

When we are content with what we have, it reflects ou r trust in God. We know He will always care for us and giv e us everything we need. Stu ff won’t make us feel secure like God’s love will. Grab a few rocks from outside an d a marker. On each rock, wr ite something that God ha s given to you that you are tha nkful for. Make a special pil e of these rocks for you to see whenever you pass by. Talk to God and thank Him for all He does for you. ASK God to help you have a grateful heart.

Being content takes a lot of practice. However, if you start being content with what you have now, you will see all that God can do for you sooner! Read through the scenarios and think of what you can do to practice being content. Share your ideas with an adult. 1. Your friend just got a brand new bike and you’ve wanted a new bike for foreve r. 2. Your family chose to watch a mo vie instead of going to the park like you wanted. 3. A kid in your class got to be the spe cial helper . . . again. KNOW that being content takes pra ctice. When it gets hard, ask God to help you remember all the good you have and to celebrate others!
