What we learned:
Today in Sunday school we learned that a
reputation is built by doing something over and over. To have a reputation
for being humble, we must constantly honor and give thanks to God
for all things. There will be many times in our life that we will
have more than someone else, have a newer toy than the kid down the
street, or get a better grade than our friend, but we must never look
down on someone else because they are less fortunate. Likewise, we
should never think that whatever it is we have is because of something
we did. All good things come from God, and He alone is worthy of our
praise. |

Memory Verse:
"Humble yourselves before the Lord,
and he will lift you up" James 4:10 NIV
Memorize this verse with your child. Discuss what it means to humble
ourselves before the Lord. |

Suggested Parent/Child Activity:
Read Proverbs 16:18 with your child. Discuss
the difference between having a disdainfully proud or arrogant attitude
verses taking joy in a job well done, realizing that God sets the
ground work for all that we may ever hope to accomplish. We should
joyfully thank God for all that He allows us to complete, rather
than pridefully take credit for ourselves.

Daily Prayer:
Father God, let us humbly submit ourselves
to you. Help us realize that you are the potter and we are the clay.
Do not let us think more highly of ourselves than we should, rather
let us rejoice in the gifts and talents you have given us. May we
use these gifts to honor you. Amen |
