“In everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus toward you.”

What this verse means
This verse asks something surprising: to give thanks not only when things go well, but in everything. It doesn't mean pretending hard things are fun — it means trusting that God is good and near even on the hard days, and finding something to thank Him for anyway. A thankful heart is one God delights to grow.
When to use it: A meaningful page for a disappointing day, a season of change, or teaching gratitude that doesn't depend on getting our way.
Coloring and memory-verse tips
- Say the verse aloud a phrase at a time while your child colors — coloring keeps hands busy while the words sink in.
- Let them color the big bubble letters two alternating colors so the verse is easy to read from across the room.
- Add the child's name and today's date in a corner, then hang the finished page where they'll see the verse each day.
- Print on cardstock if you plan to use markers, so the colors stay bright and the ink doesn't bleed through.
