I guarantee that your day is so busy it could spin out of control very fast. And before you know it, you are to the end of it! Before you even realize it, there will be little if any time to focus even a few moments on God. Everyday life is so super-scheduled and cram-packed with so many demands, that the day's activities of work, school, children, and family activities will crowd out even the best intentions. And for most of us, we do intend to create special moments with our kids to focus on God. The best place to do that is NOT in just especially focused events, but -- in the EVERYDAY natural moments of our lives. What a great place to make your child aware and in awe of God's power and presence! The chill of winter, the beginning of spring, the warm slip into summer and the feeling of fall are all natural times to focus your child's attention on God's plan for the change of seasons. Conversations can focus on "Who makes the flowers to grow after winter? Who blesses us with warm sunshine and makes the green grass and trees?" These simple, yet meaningful conversations put our focus back on the God of our Creation. It's simple. And teachable.
Faith in Action: Have you read your Bible today? Did you begin your day with prayer? Spend some time with your child today praising God.
Psalm 150:1-6 “….Let everything that lives sing praises to the Lord”
