Who can close their eyes and say the SuperTruth? “I will show mercy and kindness to all people.”
Give each child a coloring page and crayons, colored pencils, or washable markers. As children work, lead them in a discussion using the questions below.
- What is happening in the picture you are coloring? The man who lost the ax head is rejoicing because he has found it again.
- Why was the man so upset about losing the ax head? He had borrowed the ax.
- Why was it so remarkable for the ax head to come to the surface of the river? Here is a hint; Gizmo told us this answer. The ax head was made of iron, and iron doesn’t float.
- Can you share a time when you showed kindness to someone who was upset?
Conclusion: Elisha had many important things to do for God, yet he took the time to show compassion and kindness to a man who was in a tough situation. We must always be ready to show kindness and mercy to others.
