Watch a candle flame flicker, watch the wax melt and the smoke rise. This is action.
Watch an unlit candle sit, useless and inactive.
God has made us flickering, living lights! We are to be active lights, shining through our good works.
What are good works?
Why do we do good works?
What is one good work we can do today to show someone God more clearly?
Let’s get to it! God, be glorified in our good works today.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden. Nor do people light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.”
Matthew 5: 14 -16

Hi Laura – I love this series! Would you believe I have yet to start it?! TODAY – really, today!
I am also working on teaching Ella the 10 Commandments, and how they are summed up in Love God and love others. She knows all the commandments, but we are going to take a commandment a week and learn what it means. Each week we are going to make a bracelet of the commandment out of paper, and when we are all done we will have a chain. I also want to make her a bracelet with the greatest commandment, and the 2nd greatest (“tie them on your wrists”) so she can look at them everyday.
I am so thankful for you and your wonderful insight and creative ideas for teaching the Word of God!
Those are fabulous ideas, Sarah! I think I’ll copy you!
