Our children can learn that God has a plan for them too. We have to learn to trust Him even when we cannot see where He is going with this. When we trust Him. there is a great reward in store but when we don't and we go our own way we miss out on the best of what He has to give. To illustrate this, a game of simon says is the activity for the week.

Simon says or rather God says!

We talked about how God has a plan for each of us. When we follow His plan, He get the reward. Let’s practice what that might look like. Mom hold five pieces of a treat in your hand and play simon says. Each time they mess up, take on piece away. Stop before they lose all of their treats and show them what they have left compared to what they could have had. Explain to them that when we follow God’s direction, we get rewarded. Sometimes, we mess up and we miss out on some of the reward God has for us. Show them what the other treats they could have had if they made no mistakes. Then explain to them that because we serve a forgiving and restoring God so when we apologize to Him, ask for forgiveness and for His help to do better later on He will give us some or all of what we missed out on before. Sometimes He will even give us better. At that point, give them one or two pieces they didn’t get the first time.
