Instructions

Think of a school project: from a simple title, you gather information and create something much bigger. Jesus uses a similar idea when he compares the Kingdom of God to a tiny mustard seed that grows into something much greater.

  • Hold the five seeds in the palm of your hand. (any type of seed will do).)
  • While looking at the seeds, think about your positive characteristics.
  • Place the five seeds on a piece of paper, and under every seed, write down your positive characteristics/talents.
  • Spare a small prayer to God, asking him to give you strength to do your best to help others benefit from your talents/characteristics.
