Read Genesis 4:2-7: Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the LORD. And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The LORD looked with favor on Abel and his offering, but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.
Then the LORD said to Cain, “Why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted?
Say: Today we are going to give an offering to God. I want you to pick out a toy or an outfit that we can give to a charity store. Lets give something to God!
Pray: God, may _______'s offering be a blessing to you. Thank you for blessing us. We trust you. Amen.

Cain gave an offering to God. But Abel gave God a sacrifice. What is the difference?
What can you give to God today that would be a sacrifice?
Act: Pray to God about what to offer to him. Is there something you can donate to a charity shop today? Is there a missionary God is calling you to support every month? What ever he tells you to do...do it! Listen, commit and sacrifice! Give an offering pleasing to the Lord.
