At the beginning of the month, we did a REALLY fun activity with the youth of our church congregation. We talked about how we are all Children of God & how he loves us & sees us as a parent sees their child.
We paired the youth up & had them "paint" the person sitting across from them. Yes, they were funny, some were amazing, but it was meant to just be fun & they really enjoyed it.
After painting, we wrote "A Marvelous Work in Progress" at the bottom of the paintings, then had each of the teens write a positive trait about that person around the painting. My kids all have their paintings hanging in their room. They look at them every morning & are reminded that they are Children of God & they see those beautiful words their peers wrote about them:

Kind, organized, leader, friend to all, cute, full of service, dependable, etc.
It was a great activity.
We all decided that it wasn't fair Taya got to paint. ha ha ha. She's too good at art. She got paired up with one of the younger girls & they had fun painting each other.
