M&M's

M&M’s ~ this one’s for the kids, sorta…

Next time you are in the grocery store, stop and buy a bag of plain milk chocolate M&M’s. You remember, “they melt in your mouth ~ not in your hands”. After dinner, guess what… its time for dessert and a little object lesson.

Separate the M&M’s by colors, one of each color for each person at the table.

Read Acts 10:34-35 and I Corinthians 12:12-31 aloud.

In your own words, discuss the meaning of these passages, soliciting input from your family.
· God is no respecter of persons. We are all equal in His sight.
· Everyone has a talent, or talents. All of which, be they perceived by our fellow man as great or small, are valued by God. Especially, when employed in service to Him and the cause of Christ.

Now comes the fun part, each M&M has a shiny coat of candied color, each obviously different than the next when observed from the outside. Now, each one at the table take turns taking a small bite out of each colored M&M. Next, line up the remaining pieces and peer into the inside, the heart of each little M&M. Guess what? They are all the same inside.

Just like each of you. Each one has its own unique appearance or “talent”. Each one also, is the same at its core.

Just like the church, made of diverse individuals, all with a different talent to put to work in service to our Lord.

Each unique, yet of equal value, in the sight of our God.
