Main point: I can have joy when I see what God has made.
Bible story: Joy in the Psalms ● Psalms 8 and 19

As a family, read “Joy in the Psalms” (Psalms 8 and 19) from a children’s Bible. (CLICK HERE for children’s Bible recommendations.) 

After reading the Bible story, discuss these questions together:

• What happened in the Bible story? (King David liked to write songs to God. One time he wrote a song because everywhere he looked he saw things God made that gave him joy.)
• Can you have joy when you see what God has made? (yes)

This week, engage in everyday moments to continue the conversation: 

• • Morning Time: When you go into your child’s room, cuddle them and say: “Good morning, (child’s name)! Get up and look out of the window with me. Look at all of the things God made! God made the sun, trees, and clouds. We can have joy when we see what God made!”
  • Cuddle Time: Cuddle with your child and pray: “God, today we saw the (name things you saw today that God made) that You made. Wow! Just seeing all the things You made gives us joy! I especially have joy when I look at (child’s name), because You made them too! We love You, God. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
  • Bath Time: Play praise music during bath time. Every time you stop the music, each of you must name one thing God made. Continue doing this throughout bath time. As you dry your child off, say: “We can have joy and sing to God when we see the wonderful things God made!”
  • Drive Time: While on the go, sing your favorite praise song together. Talk about how we can have joy all the time, and one way to show our joy is singing to God!
