God once said, “Look and be amazed—I am doing something new!” (Habakkuk 1:5, paraphrased). Spring invites us into that same posture of wonder. New life is breaking through the soil, even when we can't see it yet. And while we're constantly aware of our kids' growth—as we buy new shoes month after month—there is so much more happening beneath the surface. Every seed planted through love, truth, and faithfulness is taking root in their hearts. In time, spring will come, and you'll begin to see something new bloom in them—and likely in you, too. Keep going. You're faithfully watering the seeds God is growing in your family.
“Look at the nations and watch - and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe even if you were told.” - Habakkuk 1:5 (NIV)
March is a natural invitation to notice growth all around us. One simple way to do that together is to plant something as a family. Take a trip to a local garden or home improvement store and choose a few seeds or small plants—nothing fancy needed. Whether you plant in your yard or in a pot, let everyone play a part.
As you care for what you've planted, notice how growth doesn't happen in isolation. Plants need time, water, and help to grow—and so do we. You don't need a lesson or a perfect outcome. Just a shared moment of attention and curiosity. As the days go on, try one of these questions together:
For Littles (preschool–early K):
What was your favorite part of helping the plant grow?
For Big Kids (ages 6–10):
What did you notice changed because you took care of it? Or what happened when you didn't take care of it?
For Mixed Ages:
What do you notice about how God helps things grow—and how He invites us to help too?
