Shine At Home

Breath of God

June 16, 2024

Book of Job; The Peace Table, pages 141–142

My life is in God’s hands…Only God gives life and breath to every creature.

Create
Trace each other’s hands on construction paper and cut them out. Attach them together with yarn or string to make a garland. What does it mean that our lives are in God’s hands?

Enjoy
Use a watch or timer to see how long you can hold your breath!

Play
Name five creatures. After each one, blow out a long slow breath. Imagine God giving life and breath to each of those creatures.
