The Shield

FAMILY ACTION PACK
The Shield
You will need:
A pillow for each member of your family.
A Bible marked at Psalm 18:1-4.
A Bible marked at 1 Peter 5:7.
 
Pillow Fight—Part 1
Have a family pillow fight—Set boundaries, clear an area and
have fun. You may also want to set limits depending on the
age of your children.
Take a break, sit on your pillows and ASK: What was your
pillow made for?
SAY: Our pillows were made for sleeping, not fighting. Of
course it is fun to use them for a good fight, but you’d never
really win a fight if all you had was a pillow. Why? That’s not
what it was made for. Imagine an army going into battle, all
carrying fluffy pillows—that’s crazy!
SAY: Just like our pillows were made for a reason, God made
you for a reason too. He has great plans for your life and
everything you’ve ever wanted in life is found only in Christ.
Pillow Fight Instructions—Part 2
Have one family member protect another during the pillow
fight. Then take turns protecting each other.
SAY: God’s purpose for you is to give your life to Jesus and
follow Him every day in every way. When you do this, you can
know that God is a shield for you. God becomes your personal
protector.
 
READ: Psalm 18:1-4 from your Bible.
SAY: God cares about everything in your life. Because of this,
you can give your cares to God because He cares for you.
READ: 1 Peter 5:7 from your Bible.
