As we end our winter activities, let’s take a moment to think about God’s blessings. We enjoyed His creation in a special way. Whether we felt the cold air on our faces or saw the beauty of nature, it was a reminder that God made everything good.

God gives us these moments to bring us closer as a family. He wants us to be joyful together and to care for each other. It’s easy to feel God’s love when we are having fun. But even on the quiet days, His love is there, just like the sun behind the clouds.

Let’s remember that God made all things out of love for us. He created winter so we can see His world in a different way. He also sent us Jesus to show us His love. Just as we enjoy the beauty around us, let’s enjoy the gift of Jesus and thank Him for His love.

Prayer

Dear God, thank you for this special time together. Thank you for the fun and beauty of winter. Help us to remember that you are always with us, in every season. Keep us close to each other and to you. We are grateful for Jesus and your love. Amen.
