Happy Monday! I am praying for you all as you being your new school year.
My prayer for and every one of these kids is the same now as it was when. I began- I pray this prayer for them as God brings them to my heart, on the Adventure, when they are baptized or confirmed, and now as they start a new year. It is the verse I write in their Bibles that are presented. Ephesians 3:14-19
14 For this reason I kneel before the Father, 15 from whom every family[a] in heaven and on earth derives its name. 16 I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, 18 may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, 19 and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
As you begin your school year ot can be restful for everyone. In my social work job, I often teach kids breathing exercises to help calm them when they are anxious or stressed. Here is my favorite one that Inused with my own kids in case someone needs a little help woth calming down. Enjoy! I am praying for you.
I don't often pay attention to the album-specific songs from Sesame, but this one's a real gem.
