Dear God, Thank you for the little boy who was willing to share his lunch to help others. Sometimes we find it hard to share our toys or snacks so please will you help us to understand that sharing is good. Thank you that The Salvation Army is working around the world to help people share what they have so they can help each other to make their lives better. We want to be part of that sharing too. Amen

Dear God, As we share this bread, please help us to remember how we can share what we have with others – our toys, our food, our money. Thank you God that you have given us so much that we can share. Amen
