Love is Doing!

Acts of love


Do you know what love is? It's not just a feeling in your heart, it's also something you do!

Sometimes, saying "I love you" is super important. But showing love with your actions is like giving a big, warm hug without even touching! These are called concrete acts of love. "Concrete" just means real things you can see and do!
Let's think about ways we can show love to our family and friends, just by doing things!

Helping Hands (Acts of Service)

Imagine your grown-up is super busy. 

What if you:
  • Help put your toys away without being asked?
  • Set the table for dinner?
  • Help carry the groceries inside?
When you do these things, you're saying, "I love you and I want to help!" It makes everyone feel happy and cared for.

Special Time (Quality Time)

Do you love playing games or reading with someone special? That's a concrete act of love!
  •  Put down your tablet and listen when your friend tells you about their day.
  • Ask a grown-up to play your favorite board game with just you.
  •  Go for a walk together and look for cool things.
When you give someone your full attention and spend time doing fun things together, you're saying, "I love spending time with you!"

Thoughtful Surprises (Receiving Gifts)

A gift doesn't have to be big or expensive! It's about showing you were thinking of someone.

  • Draw a picture for your grandma.
  • Pick a flower for your mom or dad.
  • Share your favorite snack with a friend.
These little surprises say, "I was thinking of you and I care!"

Warm Hugs and High Fives (Physical Touch)

Sometimes, a hug says everything!

  • Give your sibling a high five when they do something awesome.
  • Cuddle with your grown-up while watching a movie.
  • Give a gentle pat on the back to a friend who is sad.
These touches make people feel safe, happy, and loved!

Kind Words (Words of Affirmation)

Even though we're talking about doing love, kind words are like little gifts you can give with your voice!

  • Tell your brother, "Great job on your homework!"
  • Say to your friend, "You're a really good listener."
  • Tell your grown-up, "Thank you for making my favorite dinner!"
These words make people feel special and appreciated.

Love isn't just a word, it's something you DO every day! What concrete acts of love will you do today?

Duterte Mocks God

  Be afraid.  Be very afraid.  For God cannot br mocked. Rodrigo Duterte, former president of the Philippines, has made several public statements that were widely interpreted as critical of God and the Catholic Church. Here are some key instances:  * Criticism of the Creation Story:    * Duterte questioned the biblical story of Adam and Eve, expressing his disbelief and asking "Who is this stupid God?" for creating them only to allow them to be tempted. This critique of the concept of original sin was a major source of controversy.  * Statements about God's "Stupidity":    * He publicly used the word "stupid" to describe God, which caused significant outrage in the predominantly Catholic Philippines.  * Challenges to God's Existence:    * Duterte also stated that he would resign if anyone could prove God's existence, further fueling the debate about his religious views.  * Attacks on the Catholic Church:    * He ...

Did Prayers Ever Stop Prophecies in the Bible? The Surprising Truth

There are prominent examples in the Bible where prophecies did not take place as initially declared because of prayer and repentance. These instances highlight the conditional nature of some of God's pronouncements, particularly those concerning judgment. Here are two well-known examples: Nineveh (Book of Jonah): God sent the prophet Jonah to Nineveh to declare its impending destruction: "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" (Jonah 3:4). However, the people of Nineveh, from the king to the common person, responded with repentance, fasting, and prayer. Because of their sincere change of heart, God "relented from the disaster that he had said he would bring upon them, and he did not do it" (Jonah 3:10). This is a classic case of a conditional prophecy where a change in human behavior (repentance) led to a change in the predicted outcome. King Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:1-6 and Isaiah 38:1-6):   The prophet Isaiah came to King Hezekiah and told him, "Th...
