Counting the Blessings
"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits."Psalm 103:2
Reflection
Memory is short for good things and long for bad ones. Saying out loud what went right helps fix that.
Prayer
God, help me remember everything You have already done. Amen!
Talk about it as a family
- Why do we remember bad things more than good ones?
- What good things happened this week?
- How can we remember God's benefits?
5-minute activity
Use a jar and dried beans: each person drops in one bean for every good thing they remember from the week, saying it aloud. Count the beans together at the end. Read Psalm 103:1-5.
