Practices for the Week Ahead
For Younger Children
1 Read the Ten Commandments in the Bible, Exodus 20:1–17. If you can’t read, have a grown-up read them to you.
2 Can you memorize the Ten Commandments? I think that you can. Practice with a grown-up this week.
3 Talk about the Ten Commandments with a grown-up: Which commandments are about how we treat other people? Which commandments are about God? Which commandments are hard to understand?
4 Read what Jesus says about love in the Bible, John 15:12. If you can’t read, have a grown-up read the verse to you and talk about how you can show love to your family and to other people that you know.
For Older Children and Adults
Read Psalm 32 slowly once a day. As you go through the week, have in mind a different question each day as you read the psalm.
Monday: Do I commit sins?
Tuesday: Do I sin more by doing what is wrong (sins of commission) or by not doing what I ought to do (sins of omission)?
Wednesday: What is the texture of feeling separated from God like for me?
Thursday: What is the experience of forgiveness like for me?
Friday: Is it hard, or easy, to accept that God has accepted me?
Saturday: How should I live because God loves me and forgives my sins?
