Trail mix is not my favorite.
Someone gave me a small bag of trail mix recently, and I picked through to find the M&Ms and ate those instead.
Because, chocolate.
My husband took the bag from me to pick out his favorites, and I saw a couple M&Ms that I had missed at the bottom.
“Wait!” I said, and quickly found the pieces I had missed, doing a final sweep for any other chocolate that was hiding.
I didn’t want to give my trail mix away while leaving any valuable pieces of chocolate behind!
God told Abraham that Sodom and Gomorrah were going to be destroyed.
Abraham, with his kind and compassionate heart, pleaded for the Lord to not destroy them if 50 righteous people were found.
Abraham continued to try and prove how much a righteous soul would be worth to the Lord until he stopped at:
“Peradventure ten shall be found there. And he said, I will not destroy it for ten’s sake.” (Genesis 18:32)
One righteous person can make a huge difference within a home, a school, or a community.
Every effort that you make to turn to the Lord and show love, despite what may or may not be happening around you, matters.
One little light.
Even if you feel like you are the only M&M in the bag, the Lord sees you.
Happy Studying!

Thank you so much for this! I used it as part of of my youth Sunday School class last week and the kids really got it. It was exactly what I was looking for! It helped that I also brought a bag of giant chocolate chips (hersheys kisses) to hand out at the end of class!
I’m so glad you were able to use it in a lesson! I love hearing that!
