The Blessing of You a 5-Day Devotional for Kids by Mark Batterson and Summer Batterson DaileyMuestra

Day Three: So Many Blessings!

“Taste and see that the Lord is good.

    Blessed is the person who goes to Him for safety.”

—Psalm 34:8, NIRV

So many blessings all around.

Can you taste them, touch them, hear them in a sound?

Devotion

Have you ever played with glitter? Even when you try to keep it on the table or on your paper, it gets everywhere. No matter where you look—on your shoe or the floor or in your cereal bowl—you find more glitter! That’s kind of like God’s blessings. No matter where we look, whether we’re inside or outside or alone or with a friend, we can find God’s blessings everywhere. A blessing might look like a fun day at the park or the taste of a juicy red apple. It might look like snuggling with someone you love before bed or seeing the sunshine in your window in the morning. God’s blessings are all around us. 

Prayer

Dear God, You must love me a lot to give me so many blessings. Help me to notice them every day and have a thankful heart for all the colorful and tasty and loving ways You bless me! Amen.

Activity

Go on a Blessing Hunt. How many of God’s blessings do you see in your home? How many of God’s blessings do you see outside the window of your room or your car? Get other people in your family to go on a Blessing Hunt too. Then tell each other about the blessings you’ve found!
