February 3: Small Things
A Little God Time for Kids: February 3
I know how to live when I am poor, and I know how to live when I have plenty. I have learned the secret of being happy at anytime in everything that happens when I have enough to eat and who go hungry, when I have more than I need and when I do not have enough - Philippians 4:12 NCV
We have favorite dinners, and meals that we don't like very much. Can you think of a favorite dinner of yours? Now think of someone who doesn't get dinners at all. That's pretty sad, right? It's good to be thankful for every meal that you get, even if you don't like it very much.
Paul, from the Bible, said that he was okay even when he was put in prison and didn't have very much. That's because he was thankful for every little thing that Jesus had given him. We can learn to be thankful, no matter how much or how little we have.

Jesus, help me to be happy with whatever I have, even if it is only a little.
