The story and our memory verse for this week are about letting our light shine for the Lord Jesus to those around us. The memory verse says we are to do it in such a way that others, who see the good works we do, will glorify our Father which is in heaven. If they know we are doing something good because we love the Lord Jesus, not just because we are “good people,” that will make them thankful to God for what we do. I once heard a story about a man who didn’t say much to teach people about Jesus, but he did everything he could to help those around him. He was able to help fix things that other people couldn’t. He used this ability in such a way that many people came to know the Lord Jesus because of what he did. You might be able to do something to help someone in such a way that you can tell them you are doing it because you love the Lord Jesus. That would be a good way to let your light shine. On the lines below, write some ideas of things you can do to shine for the Lord Jesus. There are a few filled in for you.__
