Share: What were your high and low points today?
Read: Revelation 21:5. “…See, I am making all things new.”
Reflect: Spring is a time when we can spot signs of new life all over God’s Creation. What new thing is God making in you? It could be a new opportunity or relationship that is life-giving, a second chance, or even a sense of hopefulness in your heart.
Pray: “Dear God, you are always making things new, bringing life out of death, and giving hope to the hopeless. Help us to notice your creative work. Amen.”
Bless: Trace a cross on each other’s shoulder, hand, or head and say “[Name], you are a beloved child of God.”
