One of the interesting things I’ve come to realize through this journey of motherhood is that at the same time I am parenting Jonah, God is parenting me. Just as I discipline, encourage obedience, and wipe away the tears when Jonah falls, God is doing the very same thing with me.
Another thing….just as I am learning and growing in my faith, God is revealing himself and calling to Jonah’s heart. It’s beautiful and gives me goosebumps even as I type it for you to read. The folks at Tommy Nelson understand this and have a set of devotions perfect for this parallel journey.

Very neat. I am always praying that I will instill a love and knowledge of God to Ben. We pray every night. We read from his kid’s Bible (he even asks for the Bible). Of course, we attend church and he goes to the nursery where we have a great nursery care person who teaches during that time.
You are so right when you say God is parenting us. Even in our parenting. Like how we tend and care for our little blessings, how we discipline them (which is something I’m still asking about), and how we train them up.
Every morning we read a devotional from a little book called Devotions for Preschoolers. My kids (6 and 1) really love it. Even though the 6 year old is no longer a preschooler. She loves the characters in the book and the drawings are BEAUTIFUL! We also study the Bible during home school, and memorize scripture together. We have random little conversations through out our days about Jesus, the things he made, the things he does for us, asking him for help, etc. And of course we go to church a lot and they hear a lot about it there too!
Thanks for the opportunity to win this! I think I want them whether I win or not ;P
Sara, this is a wonderful giveaway! We are planning on starting family devotions on Monday. We have wanted to do it for a while but life always gets the best of us. We have made a commitment to schedule this time and stick to it. We teach our kids through stories and play and also do scripture memory.
Another book to add to my reading list~! *lol* It’s getting long, so hopefully I’ll have some time to read this winter!
Thanks for this opportunity to win!
We are constantly talking about Jesus’ love and sacrifice for us with our kids. Praying before each meal; saying thanks for the little things; and making sure they understand the meaning of thankfulness.
Downloaded the Jesus Calling Kids devotional!

Most mornings at breakfast I read out of my kids’ Bible, then I read the same verses out of my Bible. We go to church and sing “Jesus” songs. We talk about Jesus but I’d love a devo pointed at kids!
I’m going to download the 2 weeks devotional now.

We pray every night, and we have some prayers books and stories about the Bible.
We teach our children that Jesus saves. He is the way, the truth, and the life, and anyone that calls on him and believes shall be saved. We pray w/ them daily and remind them that we are called to do His will and teach his word.

Thank you so much for this giveaway. I love to share as much as I can about the Lord with my son. Children pick up on things so quickly. My son accepted Jesus as his savior when he was 5. He decided to get baptized last year. I LOVE sharing with him and also love to hear him pray and encourage me with the Word. It is awesome.
I downloaded the devotional. THANKS!!!!

This year my kids (ages 4, 7, 10) and I have set a goal to memorize the book of James together. So far we are about 17 verses into the 108.
This sounds like a fun, easy devotional to add to our daily study time.
I have just subscribed via Google Reader.
Our little family piles on the couch every night at bedtime to read a book & a story from the kids’ Bible. Then we pray together. I’m trying to work a morning devo into the breakfast routine too but am still working on a doable plan.
