Under the I AM BLESSED column, they should make a top ten list of blessings in their life. Under the WHAT? column they should write something they can do to share their blessings with others, or something they are willing to do as a result of this blessing. After students have completed their sheets, light the candle or lamp and turn off the lights. Invite students to look at the candle/lamp as you read these closing words from Matthew 5:14-16: “You are the light of the world. A city built on a hill cannot be hid. No one, after lighting a lamp, puts it under a bushel basket, but on a lamp stand, and it gives light to all in the house. In the same way, let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father in heaven.” Go, and share the blessings that have been given to you.
