Family Devotion, WEEK 5
from Rev. Karen Jones:
ThankFull in all Circumstances
Rejoice always, pray continually, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
"Parents,
One of the greatest challenges of having an attitude of gratitude, whether you are a child or an adult, is when circumstances are against you. How do we teach our children to give thanks when they are having a bad day or when the world seems to be against them? First of all, honor your child’s feelings. If they are sad, help them find comfort that God is sad with them. Second of all, help them to know that being thankful in all circumstances doesn’t mean that we are thankful for bad circumstances. It means we can find the good in a bad situation. " Click here for the full article & our last week of devotion activities.
