God is there, trust Him.

Good parents

It will be a hard week for a lot of people as the country starts to open up more and we, as parents, have to make some very hard decisions for our families and children. It seems unclear what is the right choice. We all want what is best for our child and wouldn't want to cause them harm.

Whatever you decide, you will hope that it was the correct thing to do.

Our Father

Our God is a good father and, just like you, wants the best for His children. He is better than us at it because He Is God! He knows all about us and the situation.

If you are feeling overwhelmed, or worried, or stressed, you can try to spend time with Him and He can offer calm. He calls us to be still and know that He is God. That is more than not moving, it is choosing to take time and be with God.

ACTIVITY IDEAS

Colouring Sheet

Print out the above image and colour it in to reflect on who God is and be 'mindful'.

Breathe

Try to sit quietly and think about your breathing.

*As you breathe in think about how good God is. Choose a word like AMAZING, LOVING, POWERFUL and say it in your mind.

*As you breathe out let go of the things that worry you, like SCHOOL, SAFETY, FEAR.

Hopefully this will help you and your children to find some calm and trust that God is with you, whatever else is happening in the world.

Nature

Spend some time in nature and realise that God, the creator, made it all. It can be very renewing for us and is a good way to spend time with Him.

I hope that you are all finding a route through the present confusion and trouble and that you can find comfort in God.

God Bless you and your families x

Praise today

What is Praise? The Oxford dictionary tell us that praise is expressing approval for someone or something or showing respect and gratitude, particularly towards God. Other words that can mean the same (synonyms) are worship, glory, exalt, honour. We tell children 'well done' when we are pleased with them. We praise God because of who He is and what He has done. How do we praise? We use songs and hymns in church to help us praise. Whilst we aren't at church there are loads of resources online, particularly YouTube. 🎜🎜🎝🎜🎜 These songs are good to remind us of all the amazing things God has done and who He is. King of Kings, Faithful One, Almighty, Saviour, and so many other names. Many people find this the easiest way to express these ideas. But we don't have to sing to praise! Maybe you are artistic and creative. The Garden of Eden Rainbow in the garden The first picture was made at church in our Sunday school, Sunday Jam, and is a picture of the Garden of Ed...

Old Testament Activity The Bible is divided into two big parts, the Old and New Testaments. These are then divided into books.

That might be different for someone from a different country. I hope you have fun with the activities.

Choose Your Words Carefully Have you ever been upset by something someone has said to you. Or maybe it was the way it was said that hurt you. Remember that as you speak to others. Choose words that are caring and be careful to not be mean. Because, if kind words are sweet like honey, mean words are like thorns. They dig in and hurt when you say them, and they keep hurting for sometime afterwards too. Kind words So what would be kind things to say? Complements about something someone has done, made or said. Or grown, baked, drawn, mended . . . the list could go on forever Or that you like something they are wearing. This can be hard and against our natural inclination. I see people wearing something cool but I'm not brave enough to say, which is a shame because I feel good when someone says something to me. 👕 👠 👟 👖 👗 It could be caring words asking how someone is or offering help when it is needed.
