Kids' Devotional

 I've always had good intentions of doing a Bible story/devotional with our kids..a little devotional that opens up conversation and teaches us about how our relationship with God is supposed to be...and the ways we can continually make it better.  It's such a nice way to wind down the day...HOWEVER, we have good intentions but life gets in the way....especially at bedtime.  It seems like the devil always wins and something gets in the way and eventually our devotional gets put on the back burner :(  So...I decided that a morning devotional might fit our lifestyle a little better...and when a better time, but in the car, on the way to school...the kids are buckled...they can't move...So...we added a devotional to our morning drive.  Trace absolutely DESPISES having to read the devotional...he's not a morning person...but he does it anyway...after all, I am the mom...and he is the kid! :)  Marci, then, reads the scripture...and we pray.  I really hope that we can keep this up...it's such a great way to start the day!

After I took this picture and really studied it, although it's a simple snapshot...I love how the morning sun is shining in on Marci's hair...the sun...just one of the many pieces of God's handiwork! :)
