God’s love is all around you. It is like a bubble where you are always with God and surrounded by His love.

NEXT, we're going to think about STOPLIGHTS!
Do you know why we have stoplights?
The reason we have stoplights is to protect people and keep them safe. Sometimes people say or do things that make us feel funny in our heart or tummy. That funny feeling tells us that we need to get help from a trusted adult. The Holy Spirit is guiding us to help keep us safe. Each light means something: RED means STOP YELLOW means BE CAREFUL GREEN means GO AHEAD |
