This week we also introduce "Tuesday Table Talk With Gracieland."
We would like to encourage you to share a family meal and Gracieland together. Each week we will be posting some discussion starters that you can share with your family. Share the webstrip with your kids, grab a plate, pull up a chair, and talk.
You may need to refer back to last week’s webstrip, “It Has A Good Beat And You Can Dance To It.” Ask your child:
Why do you think not everyone appreciated Gracie’s song?
Do you think Gracie was being disrespectful? Or expressing the joy of her faith?
Do you sometimes feel that adults seem to squash the fun? Give an example of a time that this happened to you.
How would you feel if you were Gracie?
Lesson- Explain to your children that the purple candles in the Advent wreath represent penance and have a serious feel. The pink one (which we lit on Sunday at Mass) represents joy because we are getting close to Christmas.
What do you think Gracie means by saying “I’m a pink candle girl in a purple candle world?”
Are you more of a purple candle (serious) or a pink candle (joyful) kid? Why do you think that?
What can we do as a family this week to show our joy that Christmas is coming soon?
