Sweet Blessings

Activity: The pebble and the sweet
Give each child a small pebble to put into their sock/shoe and a sweet to suck on. 
Have them walk around the room and then gather them together to share their experience of the walk.
Most will dwell on the discomfort of the pebble and say little about the good taste of the sweet.

Just like the pebble, when we focus on the small things in our day which we don't like or find difficult, when we're too busy moaning and complaining, we forget the good things that Allah has given us. When we have an attitude of gratitude, we always look for the 'sweet' blessings.
