How can you remember to be joyful?

“A cheerful heart makes you healthy. But a broken spirit dries you up.”

Proverbs 17:22, NIrV

Engagement Questions

• What are some things you know about God’s character that you can celebrate right now?
• What can you do to help you remember what God has done in your life?
• How can you remember to be joyful?

Prayer

“Dear God, thank You for caring for us. Thank You for caring for our families and loved ones, and all Your people. We know that we can have joy when we remember that You care for us through good times and bad. Help us to take time this week to celebrate what You’re doing. We love You and we pray these things in Jesus’ name. Amen.”

ENGAGE IN EVERYDAY MOMENTS TOGETHER

Morning Time

As your kid starts their day, they may be tired or grumpy but remind them of one way they bring you joy (even if it’s not necessarily how they are acting in the moment).
 

Drive Time

While on the go, ask your kid: “What is something you can do every day to help you choose joy?”

Meal Time

At a meal this week, have everyone at the table answer this question: “How can you remember to be joyful?”
 

Bed Time

Pray for each other: “God, help us to choose joy. Happiness is temporary, but joy means finding peace and reasons to celebrate no matter what is going on. Help us to always see what we have to be joyful for.”
