Blessing Bags Activity
At September's Donuts Downstairs for Young Families and Young Adults,
Faith in the Home provided some basic necessities, such as food, water, hygiene items, and medicine, so that the families could assemble their own Blessing Bags! These bags are intended to be kept in one's car, as preparation for the times in which you inevitably see someone on the side of the road asking for help. Each blessing bag also included a little note that said "You matter. You are not forgotten" and included a bible verse.
Making Blessing Bags are a great opportunity for parents to teach their kids about loving our neighbor as ourselves,
to discuss the parable of the Good Samaritan, and to exemplify
Christian service.
