Bible Circle Time
Years ago, my little girl came up to me & said, "Mommy, I have an idea! We could have our family devotions and sit in a circle. We could take turns reading the Bible too. And make prayer requests." She claimed the name of this time "Bible Circle Time" & it has stuck. We so look forward to it...drawing close after the hustle of our day, dinner, & chores, etc. Brushed teeth, jammies, blankies & Bibles all gather in a circle on the floor. We each take turns reading from the Bible (well...my son isn't a reader yet), we talk about what God is saying to us through it-what it means in our lives...then we talk about who & what we should pray about. Each family member has their own request & each of us pray for the one on our left-going around the circle. It all ends with a group hug ( or pile!) and kisses goodnight. On days when we have missed this special time- we have truly MISSED this time. It's such a blessing and it is so precious to me that our little one thought of it!The Joy of a child
Just yesterday my 8 year old was rolling on the grass & said "Mom, come roll with me!" I thought to myself "Yeah, right...I may never be able to get up!" But, looking at the joy in her eyes, I went for it! We were so happy. The smell of the fresh cut grass beneath us & the bright blue sunny sky above us...rolling over & over in circles. Giggling like crazy. I praise God for these moments that remind me what I was like as a child & just because I am almost 40-I don't have to lose that. Not only does my Joy come from the Lord, but so often from my children. They remind me to keep it simple. To relax. To enjoy the little blessings along the way. Oh, she helped me get back up! LOLPouring out our hearts...
In Lamentations, the Bible tells us to"Pour out your hearts like water before the Lord, for the souls of your young children".
I will be adding bits & pieces of what I have learned in my journey as a godly mother through the years. I pray it will bless your life too.
