The Lord calls us and moves in our lives, but we don't always recognize him. We usually need someone to point out God's presence with us, as Eli instructed Samuel and as John pointed out Jesus to the two disciples. We learn from our families how to recognize God in our lives through the simple every day conversations that help us to grow in our faith and through activities that encourage us to live our faith.
Faith Chat Question: God speaks to us in many ways - through nature, people, music, events, silence, literature, the Bible, and more. How have you experienced being called by God? How have you responded to God's call in your life?
Question for Children: What can you do this week to show that you are a follower of Jesus?
Faith Response: Make "I am a Follower of Jesus" badges with each family member's name. Have each person share what they can do this week to show that they are a follower of Jesus.
Pray: Loving God, you have called us to be your own. Holy Spirit, you move within us. Lord Jesus, you show us the way. Help us to follow you in all we say and do. Amen.
