Fireside Chat: Soul Nudge

You will need a set of Grace cards. Purchase through the Aglow store.

As you read through the story, what thoughts went through your mind? Did you remember a time when you followed a ‘soul nudge’? Would you be willing to share it with the group? How did you feel afterwards?

Everyone needs to be around people who follow ‘soul nudges’? Take a few minutes to explore ways your team and those attending your Lighthouse could reach out to the community to release ‘soul nudges’. Here is are a few ideas to get your thoughts perking. After getting permission, stand outside a local business with a sign that says, ‘Free hugs!’ or ‘Need a kind word?’ How about this one? Purchase flowers at the Dollar Store, then write scriptures on paper and attach to the stem and take them to a retirement home. Ask permission to hand out.

Take time to share kind words with all those in the group today. Kindness matters.

Bring blank cards or make cards and take time for the group to make cards for family members that could be hidden under a pillow, tucked in a lunch, or handed to them. Blessings will abound!

Now, let’s look at this story from the perspective of the cashier. She felt unseen and unloved. She thought no one cared about her, but when Grace touched her through the lady’s gift, it began to change her whole demeanor and her attitude. In LifeChangers the middle lesson is Understanding True Grace.

Can you think of a time when certain circumstances caused you to react like the cashier? Why do you think that happened? Has something happened in your life that would keep you from reacting as the cashier did?

In the Grace cards set, one of the cards says the beauty of Grace changes me from the inside out. What does that mean to you?

Another card reads Grace is much more than a blessing that I can receive in moments of need. It is a place in which I stand. What does that mean to you? Share with the group.

Another reads Grace opens me to the astonishing future that belongs to me in Christ. Thoughts?

Another – In every circumstance Grace can change a difficulty into a possibility.

If time permits pass out Grace Cards and let each one take turns reading several.
