WATCH YOUR WORDS

 Can you believe she left the house looking like that?

How can she allow her kids to act like that?

Why is she so quiet, what is her problem?

Why is she at the altar crying again, what is going on with her?

We've all had hurtful words spoken to us or gossip spoken about us. We know the pain and insecurity it causes. Yet, we turn around and say or do the same thing not even giving thought to the pain and insecurity we may be causing.

And I tell you this, you must

give an account on judgment

day for every idle word you speak.

Matthew 12:36

The Bible tells us that we will be held accountable for those careless, critical, and judgmental words we say. Those times we purposely or even absentmindedly speak against someone. Those times we tear another down. We will answer to God for every single word.

My family are I are beyond excited to bring you Engaging with Faith Family Devotional: 70 Fun Activities For Christian Families to Strengthen Faith!

When my kids were growing up I was always trying to find ways to teach them God's Word and help them grow in a habit of regular Bible reading and prayer. As I searched and searched for resources, I always came up empty handed. Now, you don't have to!

My grandson is excited for Engaging with Faith!

Engaging with Faith Family Devotional is a 70 day devotional for families to do together. Each day has a Scripture verse, a brief devotion that kids will understand, a Let's Reflect section with questions to help engage each person in conversation, and a Let's Do section with an off page activity you and your kids will love.

Engaging with Faith Family Devotional would make a great homeschool companion! As we homeschooled our kids, we always added in some Bible time. This devotional will give you Bible time as well as activities to spice up the school day!

While Engaging with Faith Family Devotional is a 70 day devotional, it is designed to help you, not stress you out! If it works for your family to do each of the 70 devotionals in 70 consecutive days, go for it! If it works better for your family to do it once a week, go for it! All that matters is you are intentionally engaging as a family and teaching your children about God.

Each day that you go through the book, your family will grow closer to God and each other. Engaging with Faith Family Devotional: 70 Fun Activities For Christian Families to Strengthen Faith is out now! Just click the banner below!

Engaging with Faith Family Devotional is my 4th devotional! I feel beyond blessed by God for the opportunity to bring you 4 devotionals. To check out all of my books, click HERE.

5 WAYS TO DEFEAT THE MUNDANE

Sometimes everyday tasks get boring. Even tedious. Day after day we fight mountains of laundry, piles of dishes, and pay bills. Day after day we repeat the same instructions to our kids as if they have forgotten that we just said the same thing two hours ago. Life can get mundane.

How can we beat the mundane?

So whether you eat or drink or whatever

you do, do it all for the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 10:31

Everything you do, do for God. This include the house cleaning, paying the bills, running errands, everything! Here are 5 ways to help you find joy in the every day tasks and to do it for God.

Put praise music on. When we listen to praise music we are taken to that place of worship. So listen to praise music and worship God as you do your work.

Pray for those you are serving. As you fold the laundry, pray for each family member as you fold their clothes. As you cook dinner, pray for your family.

Praise God for giving you the work. As you wash the dishes, praise God you had food to eat to dirty the dishes. As you pay bills, praise God for the money to pay those bills.

Get sleep. When we are tired, we get cranky and the work load seems more intense. 

Smile. Simply smiling helps lift your spirits and brings joy.

Everything you do, do for God.
