Meditation
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Did you know you are so amazing you can go anywhere you want – simply by using your imagination? That’s how talented you are. Today let’s take a journey into our own hearts – a very beautiful place.
There are times when we might feel sad or down, and that’s ok. Anytime we feel sad, we can check in with our heart. It can help to imagine a beautiful glowing light to bring ourselves comfort during hard times.
First, you might see this as sunlight – warm, calming, soothing to your body and mind. It might be yellow and misty. Breathe it in deeply and allow it to relax and comfort you. Notice how it gives you a sense of peace.
Watch now as the light changes to soft blue, like the color of the sky on a clear, dreamy day. The soft blue calms you and brings you even more peace now. You might begin to feel as if you are drifting on a cloud.
The light now changes into a pinkish color. Just watch what it does. Breathe in deeply now as you allow the light pink color to remind you of the love of God and the love that is in your heart. Watch as the lovely pink color pushes away the hurts in your heart. It helps you let go of sadness and worry as you breathe in, and out.
As you breathe out, any hurt feelings, pain, or sadness in your heart begins to float away, and your heart begins to feel a lighter, a little freer. The soft, gentle light fills up the space in your heart, and shines brighter than any sadness or pain. See the soft, glowing light filling up all that space in your heart….gently and lovingly.
Breathe this peacefulness deeply into every part of you, and notice the calm and stillness take over. Life just feels better. Your heart feels better. Let this feeling stay with you all day when you breathe in, and breathe out.
Imagine your heart now jumping with joy and excitement at how many beautiful things surround you. You feel peaceful. Feeling calm and peaceful now, turn your attention back to the room and your day, knowing that peace is yours. Take in another deep breath and exhale fully. When you are ready, give yourself a big stretch and open your eyes. Thank you, God, for the warmth and beautiful light.

God Sightings
[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_single_image image=”9453″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”center”][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]
If you are comfortable, light a real candle and pass it carefully around from child to child as they share their God Sightings.
[SAY]: It’s time for God Sightings! We have been doing God Sightings in Church School for three years now. Let’s keep our tradition going! Remember, a God Sighting is a place, person, item, thought, event, or action that you saw or did that reminded you of God’s love. The candle represents the fact that GOD lights up the world with these special gifts: our God Sightings. Make sure your God Sighting includes God’s Love! [Start by sharing your God Sighting and allow others to share]
