Compassion

Caring enough to do something about someone else’s needs.
Today we  headed to 2 Corinthians 1:3-4. Paul was writing a letter to the church in Corinth in which he shared about the troubles he and Timothy had faced. Yet in the midst of all their difficulties, Paul and Timothy were still able to praise God because of the comfort God offered them. In this passage, Paul encouraged the believers in Corinth to offer comfort to others who were in trouble because of the comfort they had experienced from God.
Bottom Line: Comfort others the way God comforts you. What brings you the most comfort? Maybe it’s a blanket, ice cream, or giving your pet a big squeeze. Maybe it’s talking with a friend or binge-watching your favorite show. As good as those choices may be, the best comfort of all comes from God. And because of God’s comfort towards us, we can be a comfort to others too.
 
Today we wrote letters to someone in our life that we wanted to comfort or just to let them know we care about them. 
We also practiced Psalm 23 verses 1 & 2 and learned motions to these 2 verses. 
 
Memory Verse: He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams. Psalm 23:2 NLT
 
Have a great week!
