Thumbs up thumbs down

Prayer Spaces at Home and a Prayer for righteousness

Once Jesus related a story about the seed and weed to help us understand what the Kingdom of Heaven is. These seeds and weeds grow together in the same field, and he compares the seed with good and the weed with evil.

  • Close your fingers to form a thumbs down. Think when you’ve done a destructive action like speaking hard words, and you hurt someone. Take cardboard, draw the form of your thumbs down, and scissor it. Write or draw your thoughts on the cardboard.
  • Close your fingers to form a thumbs up. Think about your encouraging words and actions to bring peace. Take cardboard, draw on it the form of your thumbs up, and scissor it. Write or draw your thoughts on the cardboard.
  • Close your eyes and pray to God to help us to grow up righteously like the seed and be a good example.
