R.E task – Tuesday 23rd June L.O – To give thanks to God for neighbours everywhere.

King David woke up very early. Everything was bright and

beautiful. Even though he could not see it, he knew the sun had

risen in the sky. David was a good king. He often thought about

the people that he was a neighbour to, all the people who lived

in his land.

He thought about them looking up at the same sky, seeing the

same sun, feeling the same light and warmth as himself. “How

wonderful God is!” he thought. He knew the golden sun spread

the message of God’s love for neighbours all over the world. He

wanted his people to know this too. Read the psalm that he

wrote.

Answer the questions:

1. How does the sky tell us how wonderful God is?

2. Why does looking at the sky help us to think about

neighbours everywhere?

They are called our global neighbours. Why are people in
