Hello, Faith-Filled Families!
I praise God for all of you who are spending time building faith in your families! I know it is challenging but I am confident that God will bless your lessons and nurture the seeds of faith you are planting!
I pray for all of you who are struggling to keep your sanity and your heads above water. Don't worry if you cannot finish the lesson as written or are behind. What is important is to spend some time each day assuring your children that God has got this. He makes all things work for the good of those who love Him. (Romans 8:28) That's us! Remind your children that God wants us to trust Him and give all our anxieties to Him. "Cast you cares upon the Lord for He cares for you." (1Peter 5:7)
This week's lesson is all about looking for ways God is blessing us right here and now. The more we look for reasons to be grateful the more we will find. The includes some activities that may become your family's new Thanksgiving traditions. Responses are optional this week but I'd love to see pictures your Thanksgiving traditions, new or old. Your pictures give me joy!
Now take a moment to breathe in God's peace. Take time to put your worries in His most capable hands. Take time to play and love and to just be. You are His creation, which He continues to perfect through the people and events in your life.
May God bless and strengthen your family!
