junior youth

Hi today I just had my junior youth group and we went in depth into the topic about greed or also known as ego. We talked about how greed can corrupt ourselves like for example if a poor man with no money  is in need of great help and if we help him we will get no reward. Our greed will tell us we could go to a rich person that is in little need and get a reward by helping them.

Here is a story I got it goes like this, A dog found a nice juicy bone lying in the trash. He quickly grabbed it and headed home, imagining all the time the pleasure of eating that bone in peace. On the way, he had to cross a small river that ran through the village. As he stepped on the plank used for crossing his eyes fell on a delightful sight.There in the calm waters of the river was another dog, Just like himself, with a delicious looking bone in his mouth.

''This is really my lucky day,'' he thought. ''Surely I can take away that bone from this silly dog. By the time he gets out of the water, I will have reached home.''But the moment he opened his mouth, his own bone fell into the water and disappeared. All he could see, then, was the other dog staring back at him with a sad look on his face. It was the face of a disappointed dog who had lost not one but two delicious meals.
