The story of Cain and Abel is one that touches each of us in one way or another. Maybe we haven’t murdered anyone, but haven’t we all, at one time or another, seen someone give their best when we know we have not, and gotten upset with them instead of ourselves? When we let anger get in the way, we are not really listening to God or to anyone else. As your children color this picture, help them see there is no shame in asking for help. It does not mean we are failures. On the contrary, it means we are working to learn to be a better reflection of Jesus, and there is no success greater than that.
