Love Dare For Elementary Students - Day Number 3

Day Number 3 - Love is not selfish

Look up Romans 12:10 in your bible and read it to yourself.

Pray about Romans 12:10 and ask God what he is saying to you through the scripture.

Read the following: True Love looks for ways to say "Yes." What does that mean? It means that you are not selfish and you look for a way to say yes to someone else instead of thinking of yourself. An example might be when your parents ask you get your bath and get ready for bed. You may want to finish watching t.v. first, before taking your bath. That would be selfish of you. If, however, you immediately said "Yes" and got your bath done and pajamas on, you'd be showing love and respect for your parents.

Your Challenge: Continue your Love Dare from the 1st two days where you didn't say anything mean or disrespectful to your parents or brother or sister. In addition, your challenge for today is to say "Yes" even when you really don't want to. Put your parents, grandparents, teachers or maybe your coach before your own needs and follow directions immediately, with a smile on your face.
