Family Reflection Video: Not for Me, but for You

Family Reflection Video: Not for Me, but for You

If Jesus was sitting at your kitchen table, would you let him have the first pancake?

The greatest among us are those who are humble and act as servants to all. I’ve heard it said, a life well lived is a life lived for others. The happiest people I have met throughout my life are the people who live for others.

What a world it would be if we all learned to be a little more caring! Ask each of your family members what you all need to do to have an attitude of ‘not for me but for you’? Give examples of how you’ve shown you care about others today. Brainstorm ways you could be even better tomorrow!

Thank you for joining me in reflection today, friends! May God continue to bless you and your family.
