Connect as a family
Your child may enjoy playing with water. During bath time, give her a few objects and discuss which ones sink and which ones float.
Remind your child that God is always with us.
Discuss the fact that He is present in our lives when we are happy, sad, or even scared like the disciples were!
Blessing
Blessings are often used in the Bible. A blessing can be a prayer of commission, a portion of Scripture, or words to encourage and guide.
Open a Bible and read Psalm 73v28a: “But as for me, it is good to be near God.”
A blessing to pray over your child; (Child’s name), May you enjoy being near God.
