For Parents
After a busy day, a child may not stop to think about who showed them kindness. Tonight's verse, Psalm 16:3, names the people God placed around them, the parent who tucks them in, the friend who shares, the grandparent who hugs, and calls each one a gift. As you settle them, you might name one kind face from their day and thank God for that person together. Then let them drift off, loved by those people and by Him. Goodnight.
