Thankful glasses

Prayer Spaces at Home and A prayer of gratitude

Hi kids!

Did you ever see a flower and you felt a sense of awe because of its beauty? Or looked at the sea and sniffed its beautiful smell?  Was there a time when you really enjoyed playing with the soil or with the sand? Nature is a gift from God.  He uses nature to show us his never-ending love.  

The prayer space we are going to do today (with those who share our same household) is called: – Thankful Glasses and to do it we need: –

  • a pair of glasses template
  • scissors
  • markers
  • sticky tape or glue stick

Take some time to think of beautiful things in nature which are close to you and which you always miss to appreciate because of your busy life.  

Cut out the glasses template and glue the temples one on either side.  Draw onto the glasses beautiful, natural things which remind you of God’s love.

Next during this prayer time thank God for all the beauty of nature and for all created things through which God is constantly showing you his love.

Pause in prayer.

Place these glasses somewhere to remind you to take the time to stop and appreciate beautiful things around you through which God is showing you his love.  

Bye Bye Friends till we meet again.
