Morning
A two-minute start: open Amos 1:2 and read it twice. The first time, listen. The second time, stop on “roar.” The verse says, “He said: “Yahweh will roar from Zion, and utter his voice from Jerusalem; and the pastures of the shepherds will mourn, and the top of Carmel will…”
Bedtime prayer
God, bless the child who is still thinking about Amos 1. Make “roar” feel like your kindness, not a test. Amen.
Challenge
Draw a tiny picture of “roar” and tape it where you will see it in the morning.
