A Stained Comforter - FAMILY PLUS Children's

On top of the beds in our home are these really thick, decorative, and warm covers called "comforters." Have you ever wondered why they call them comforters? It's a simple answer that, when one thinks for a second, becomes clear. That cover brings us comfort. We can pull a comforter up tight to our necks and quickly find ourselves warm, secure, and hopefully quickly off to sleep. 

After having 3 children, our comforter is not the same as it used to be. It's stained in places from spit up and has a sharpie mark on it. You could say it's no longer perfect...it's blemished...just like us. This week we're talking about how God can use the imperfect, blemished people in our life to bring us comfort. Ultimately, God is the source of comfort. He is the Comforter, and we can bring His comfort to those around us. 

One of my favorite things to do with kids is to literally roll them up into a human taco using a comforter or blanket. Once you roll them up tight you simply talk to them about comfort and how God comforts us, makes us feel secure and protects us.

This weeks details are:

Scripture: 1Kings 17:8-24

Life Point: God is the source of comfort and can use people to comfort others.
