October ’09 – Letter To The Parents

Thursday, October 1st, 2009 by Shirley

I first came across a Scripture Survival Kit a few years ago when one of my son’s Sunday School teachers gave them to the kids.  I have since done some research on them and found that there are many, many, many variations of them on-line.  Below is a combination of a number of them and explains what is in your kit.

 Scripture Survival Kit

Toothpick:  To remember to pick out the good in others. (Matthew 7:1,  Do not judge, or you too will be judged.)

Rubberband:  To remember to be flexible.  God has it under control. (Romans 8:28,  And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.)

Band Aid:  To remember to mend hurt feelings – yours or someone else’s. (Colossians 3:12-14,  Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity.)

Paper:  To remember to list your blessings daily. (Ephesians 1:3, Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.)

Gum:  So you can stick to it.  With God you can accomplish anything. (Philippians 4:13, I can do everything through him who gives me strength.)

Button:  To remember to button your lip when needed. (Proverbs 21:23, He who guards his mouth and his tongue keeps himself from calamity.)

Lifesaver:  To remember that the Lord is there to help. (Psalm 46:1, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.)

Candy Kiss:  To remember that Love should be a part of everyday. (1 John 4:7, Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God.)

Puzzle Piece:  To remember that without God we are not complete. (1 John 4:12, No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us. )
