Life is filled with mountaintop highs, valley lows, and lots of places in between. Milestones coincide with times of transition—endings and new beginnings, that can bring joy or sadness or a complicated mix of emotions. As we mark milestones of every kind, we remember that God is with us and God loves us, no matter what.
Parents, use your own discretion when it comes to your kids. If content is rated for certain ages then we will indicate that. Enjoy!
Share: What were your high and low points today?
Read: Romans 8:38-39. “…nothing can separate us from the love of God.”
Reflect: God is with us in our highs and lows. Tell about a really joyful time or a really hard time in your life. Did you notice God’s love during that experience? How?
Pray: “Dear God, we know you love us, no matter what Help us to notice that you are with us in the best of times and the worst of times. Amen.”
Bless: Trace a cross on each other’s shoulder, hand, or head and say “[Name], you are a beloved child of God.”

Milestones and transitions bring big feelings and mixed feelings. As Ms. Fionn reads I’m Happy-Sad Today (written by Lory Britain; illustrated by Matthew Rivera), try to name feelings that come with a recent or upcoming life change.
