Hello, Faith-Filled Families!
In this week's lesson Jesus chooses some of His disciples. He didn't choose the powerful, the rich, or the educated. He chose simple fishermen. He chose you, too. He knows you: your strengths, your quirks, and your weaknesses and He chose to put you right where you are with the people in your life. He blesses you and gives you what you need to carry on His work. People who think they can do it all themselves are not open to His help. So embrace your weak areas because that is where God can work in and through you.
I hope you have fun with this lesson about friendship and how a good friend doesn't need to be popular, athletic or smart. They just need to be the right fit!
If you noticed that last week's lesson didn't match the Sunday Gospel you get 100 bonus points! I sent this Sunday's last week and this one goes with the Jan. 24th Gospel! God must be working through my weaknesses! May He bless the time you spend sharing faith with your children!
May God bless and strengthen your family!
