The object lesson & how I used it...

Main Point: Attitudes Are Contagious!

Illustration: Come to the front and sneeze using the sticky hand as fake “snot.” Act like you are sick a little bit and fake sneeze a few times. This will gross out the kids. Then calm everyone down and ask how many of you have ever been sick before? We all catch a cold sometimes. Now how many of you have had a brother or sister give you a cold? Colds are contagious we can pass them along to other people.

Explanation: It is the same way with our attitudes. Attitudes are very contagious, both good and bad. That is why it is so important to have a positive attitude. When we have a positive attitude we can spread that to those around us. It is also a way of showing the people around us that we are different thanks to having God be a part of our life. We can have a positive attitude even in hard times by trusting and looking to God!
