July 21, 2026- Listen to No Matter What by Debi Gliori. Small wonders whether Large will still love them after grumpy feelings, difficult behavior, and mistakes. After you listen, talk about how God loves us no matter what. Even when our choices hurt our relationships with God and others, God does not stop loving us. God helps us tell the truth, make things right, and begin again.
- Add cracks to your house. In pencil, put some cracks in the walls. On the cracks, write words that represent the ways we cause hurt and separation in relationships. For example: selfishness, jealousy, dishonesty, being mean, or refusing to help. Make sure all of these are erasable! As you add the cracks, remember that God is building us into a people of welcome, grace, and love, even when things are broken.
- Play “Sneaky Serpent.” Hide a plastic fruit, ball, or small object. One person holds a stuffed snake or rope and plays the serpent while everyone else searches. The serpent may slither, make silly noises, or give tricky clues to distract the players. Take turns being the serpent. Afterward, talk about how temptation can distract us from what is true and loving.
- Wonder Together
- Why do you think Adam and Eve hid from God?
- How does knowing that we are loved help us tell the truth about our mistakes?
- What can we do when one of our choices hurts another person?
