For Parents
At the end of a full day, it is easy for a child to rush past all the small good things that happened. Tonight's verse, Psalm 16:2, walks them back through the laughs and hugs and warm meals and names each one as a gift from God. As you tuck them in, you might ask for one good thing from today and thank God for it together. Then let them settle, knowing they already have the best thing, which is Him, near and good. Rest now.
