The first visible land is the tops of mountains — the sign that the waters are truly receding. After months of nothing but water, seeing land is a moment of great hope. Small signs of new life matter.
Memory phrase: The first sign of new land.
Talk about it: Have you ever waited for something for a long time and then started to see the first small signs it was coming? How did that feel?
Prayer: God, help me to notice and be thankful for the small signs that things are getting better.
