Most children start to get a bad case of the “gimmies” this time of year.
Between “Black Friday” sales, Holiday toy catalogs, and endless wish lists stuck to the fridge…
It’s easy to see why kids start to lose the true meaning of Christmas.
Cure the greedy “gimmies” with this easy object lesson that I like to work into my Christmas Sunday School Lesson plan.
You’ll need a bowl of cereal and a spoon. (how’s that for simple?)
This one ties in *beautifully* with Proverbs 30:8-9.

I really enjoyed this post. What a great analogy with the cereal and spoons! I think you’re totally right. Thanks for sharing on the #SHINEbloghop!
Perfect timing with this one! Thanks so much for this important lesson – and thank you for sharing at the Merry Monday Link Party!
What a clever way of looking at things! I love it! (And I think it’s useful to remember even as adults as well!)
