Little Things Mean a Lot

How do you show your mommy and daddy that you love them?
Do you give them a hug?
Bring them flowers?
Tell them you love them?

God wants to know that you love Him too.
So how do you show God you love Him?
In lots of little ways.

By visiting the church even when it’s not Sunday.
By bowing your head when you hear the name of Jesus.
By making the Sign of the Cross.
By doing lots of little things that mean a lot!

These little acts of grace help us and keep our minds and hearts focused on God. But most of all, they let Him know just how much we love Him every day!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful little book!, April 17, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: Little Acts of Grace (Paperback)

Although written for young children in order to gently introduce them to some of the little things we Catholics do (sign of the cross, genuflecting, using holy water, praying to Mary or the saints, etc.), this sweet book is a gem for anyone Catholic or anyone who ever wanted to know about such things. The whimsical illustrations are charming and especially appealing to very young children. The book is a perfect First Communion/Confirmation or birthday gift for a child or a gift for an adult who is becoming Catholic or thinking about doing so. I've already bought five copies!

This review is from: Little Acts of Grace (Paperback)

It's a great little book that my 4 year olds enjoy and it instructs them about little things to do to honor God, like kneeling before the tabernacle. It's also informative for my 13 year old who wants to know "why" we do these things. The 4 year olds pick it often as a bedtime book.

We were looking for a beginning level Religious Ed.type of book for our pre-k child. This is exactly what we were looking for. I was expecting when I ordered it for it to be a story of sorts. But it's not set up that way. It's set up so that each page is a seperate lesson/topic. Having the lesson ideas so short is great for the pre-K level child they can grasp the message quickly and you can elaborate in your conversation with the child. It's been a big help to be able to refer to it during mass and remind our child to listen to the priest. We bought this book along with the 'Just Like Mary' and 'The Mass Book for Children' books. I'm very excited about these books as a set and anticipate graduating from one up to the next. It would have been nice to have been able to purchase them in a set.
