Prayer: Kind Father, may we remember that as we are kind to those around us, we are serving you. Open our eyes to those who need us and where we can show your love. Amen
Reading: Matthew 25: 31-46 (Click to read text) Stop and GROW: After reading the text, discuss/ponder the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America's Book of Faith questions, which are part of Camp Mount Luther's GROW Time with campers. QUESTION 1: What scares, confuses, challenges, or doesn’t make sense to me in this text? QUESTION 2: What delights me in this text or is my favorite part of the story? QUESTION 3: What stories or memories does this text stir in me? QUESTION 4: What is God up to in this text? Reflection: Being kind and helpful is so easy. There are strangers among us that we depend upon. Have you ever put out a candy bar for your letter carrier? A bag of cookies for the garbage collector? How about the mysterious person who delivers your morning paper at 4 or 5 AM? Or the borough road crew who clears your street after a snowstorm? So many opportunities! Once upon a time we gave apples to our teachers. How about the custodian who cleans the classroom? My elderly neighbor who needs a walker went to vote. She was 8th in line at 7AM! The people in front of her let her move ahead. How kind! How will you be kind today? --Alice Yeakel
