Day 8...

On Day 8 we read Matthew 25: 31-46

When the Son of man shall
come in his glory, and all the holy angels with him, then shall he sit upon the
throne of his glory:32 And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he
shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from the
goats:33 And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the
left.34 Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye
blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation
of the world:35 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty,
and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in:36 Naked, and ye
clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto
me.37 Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee
an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink?38 When saw we
thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee?39 Or when
saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?40 And the King shall
answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it
unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.41 Then
shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:42 For I was an
hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no
drink:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me
not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.44 Then shall they also
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto
thee?45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch
as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.46 And
these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life
eternal.

We talked about the importance of helping and giving to others. I tried to emphasise that this did not only mean that we give to people we know, but also to those we may not know. I reminded him about the times we have taken food to food banks and when we have done things like the Christmas Child through Samaritans Purse, etc...

But today we worked on making some Christmas Gifts for Friends and Family; however, we are still in the process of finding a few toys that we don't need anymore to give away also...

We made chocolate chip cookie bars in a jar...

Henri enjoyed watching and eating cherrios!

The final product. They are the neatest looking jar cookies I've seen, but making them with a 3 and 5 year old, I thought they were are best bet!!! We had alot of fun making them.
