一个关于向他人表示宽恕的活动，这是一个真正的神爱的行为。
主题
生日, 怜悯, 宽恕, 仁慈, 爱, 情人节
一卷礼物包装纸
每个孩子有一个小的空盒子
礼物标签、记号笔、丝带
透明胶带、剪刀
各种各样的糖果、小玩具或其他小饰品。
时间
约20分钟
课前准备
收集所有需要的物品，在课前准备好。可以请家长帮忙购买糖果或小饰品。如果买不到这些东西，只要是孩子们珍爱的可以包起来的东西都行，甚至是漂亮的树叶或石头也行。确保你有足够的物品，以便每个孩子都能装满自己的包装盒。在上课前，把礼物放在一起。
说明
做：
首先，给每个孩子一个礼物标签。让他们想一想最近让他们伤心或生气的人，并把这个人的名字写在礼物标签上。向他们解释，他们将为这个人准备一份礼物。你可能会听到一些抱怨声，这很好。要指出的是，他们所做的是一份爱的礼物。当他们完成后，他们可能已经忘记他们当初为什么生气。快乐和宽恕应该取代坏情绪。让孩子们收集他们想包在包装中的物品，并用包装纸、丝带和礼物标签尽可能漂亮地包装起来。让他们把礼物带回家，送给他们打算原谅的人。
应用：
总有一些时候，爱是难以给予的。当愤怒的时候，就很难去爱和原谅。然而，爱可以战胜一切。一次又一次，当我们有了爱，就更容易原谅了。我们应该多久原谅一次？当彼得问耶稣这个问题时，耶稣回答说："我不是告诉你七次，而是七十七次。" 宽恕很重要吗？是的，不仅神的话语告诉我们要宽恕，而且宽恕还能给我们带来美好的感觉。你现在对你的礼物感觉如何？很好吧？而且宽恕甚至能促进健康。那些不愿付出爱和宽恕的人，得到的只是苦涩的回报。
你们要以恩慈相待，心存慈怜，彼此饶恕，正如神在基督里饶恕了你们一样。-以弗所书 4:32

GIFTS OF LOVE
An activity about showing forgiveness to others, as a true act of Godly love.
TOPICS: Birthdays, Compassion, Forgiveness, Kindness, Love, Valentine's Day
MATERIALS: Rolls of gift wrap paper 1 Small empty box for each child Gift tags, markers, ribbons Transparent tape, Scissors An assortment of candy, small toys, or other trinkets.
DURATION: Approximately 20 minutes
PREPARATION Collect all the items needed and have them ready for class. You may want to ask parents to help with buying candy or trinkets. If it is just not possible to obtain these items, anything kids treasure that you can wrap will do, even pretty leaves or rocks. Make sure you have enough of these items so each child can load up their package. You will put the gifts together during class.
WHAT YOU WILL DO: First, give each child a gift tag. Have them think of someone who has made them sad or angry recently, and write the name of that person on the gift tag. Explain to them that they will be preparing a gift for that person. You might hear some grumbling, this is good. Make a point that what they are making is a gift of love. When they are finished, they will have probably forgotten why they were mad in the first place. Joy and forgiveness should replace the bad feelings. Have the children gather the items they want to include in their package and wrap it as pretty as they can with the wrapping paper, ribbon and gift tag. Have them take the gift home to give to the person they plan to forgive.
Application: There will always be times when love is hard to give. When there is anger, it is difficult to love and forgive. However, love conquers all. Time after time, when we have love, it is much easier to forgive. How often should we forgive? When Peter asked Jesus this question, Jesus replied, "I tell you not seven times, but seventy-seven times." Is forgiveness important? Yes, not only does the Word of God tell us to forgive, but forgiving also gives us a good feeling. How do you feel now about your gift? Pretty good right? And forgiveness even promotes good health. Those who do not give love and forgiveness, receive nothing but bitterness in return.
"Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you." -Ephesians 4:32 NIV
