Engagement Questions

• Who can have joy all the time?
• What are your favorite foods?

Prayer

"Dear God, thank You for making the Sun shine. Thank You for making the rain fall. Thank You for making food grow. And thank You for the yummy things we get to eat, like (name your child's favorite food). Please help us have joy each time we remember all the ways You help us every day. You're the best, God, and we love You. In Jesus' name. Amen."

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

When you go into your child's room, cuddle them and say: "Good morning, [child's name]! It's time to wake up and eat breakfast! I have joy when I think about how God helps us have food - like yummy [breakfast item]!"

Drive Time

While on the go, look for the sun, water and food. After you find them, talk about how God's people had a festival to celebrate God helping them grow food. God helped them by making the sun shine, the rain fall, and the food grow!

Cuddle Time

Cuddle with your child and pray: "God, thank You for all of the ways You help [child's name] and me. You help us by giving us the sun to keep us warm, rain to make food grow, people to love us...You help us in so many ways, and Your help gives us joy! In Jesus' name. Amen."

Bath Time

Add toy food items and toy garden tools to bath time. As your child plays, talk about how a long time ago, God's people had a festival after all of the food in their gardens finished growing. They had joy, because God helped their food grow!
