This morning in my
Sunday school class we closed class time with having
prayer with M&M’s. However, I had brought the
Valentine Mix that contained red, light pink, dark
pink and white. I started off with a recap of how
praying with M&M’s worked for the kids that didn’t
know. Then, I told them that since we had some new
colors today I was going to let them try and define
what the colors would stand for. Here is what we
came up with:
Red – Hindu – we kept
this the same because I didn’t want to cause
confusion from that color already being defined.
Light pink – I
suggested that since it is the color used for Breast
cancer awareness that we use pink to represent
cancer
Darker pink – those
we love, family, those that don’t feel loved were
all suggested by the kids. Then, I added that in
countries like China the girls are not wanted and
are abandoned and in other Muslim countries the
women are mistreated and abused so we used this
color to represent those needs.
White – the states
(based upon the white stripes and stars of the US
flag).
I thought the kids
did great with their ideas and thought I would pass
their ideas along. I got the M&M’s ½ price from
Valentine’s day and I think that they are doing
different assortment of colors now for various
themes so I thought it might be something that could
be used again with different colors in another
season.
