The Two Shirts Rule!
Welcome, Faith Force Generous Sharers! Today, we’re learning a simple rule about sharing what we have, as shared in Luke 3:11.
Verse Of The Day:
"John answered, 'Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.'" (Luke 3:11)
Have you ever looked in your closet and realized you have way more stuff than you actually need? John the Baptist gives us a super simple rule about what to do!
People asked John, “What should we do?” His answer was clear and practical: “Anyone who has two shirts should share with the one who has none, and anyone who has food should do the same.” This isn’t complicated – if you have extra, share it with someone who has nothing!
Think about it – if you have two coats but your friend has zero coats, give them one! If you have plenty of food but someone is hungry, share your food! John isn’t saying give away everything you own. He’s saying look at what you have extra of, and share it with people who have none.
This rule works for everything – shirts, toys, food, school supplies, even your time! The key word is “two” – when you have more than you need, that’s your signal to share with someone who has less than they need. It’s one of the simplest ways to show God’s love!
My "Two Shirts" Sharing Inventory:
Walk through your room and make a list of things you have TWO or more of – shirts, jackets, toys, books, games, or sports equipment. Circle items you could share with someone who has none. This week, pick at least TWO items to give away to someone in need or donate to a charity. Remember John’s rule – if you have two, share one!
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, help us notice when we have extras while others have nothing! Give us generous hearts that want to share what we have. When we look at our two shirts, two toys, or extra food, remind us of John's simple rule - share with those who have none. Make us quick to give! Amen.
Keep following the two shirts rule, Faith Force Generous Sharers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that anyone who has two should share with the one who has none!
