Today for Wee Read Tuesday I'm bringing you a
kids' devotional that also has an adult version!
Grace is: God’s best idea . . . More than we deserve … And
greater than we imagine. But how can you plant this important message of
grace into the heart of your child?
Adapted from the
bestselling devotional for adults (with more than 3 million copies sold), Grace
for the Moment: 365 Devotions for Kids presents
the message of God’s grace in a way that children can understand. It’s perfect
for families to read together or for older readers to enjoy alone. Each day
offers a devotion and scripture to encourage regular time with God. And because
giving grace is just as important as receiving it, a “Growing in Grace”
opportunity accompanies each devotion, offering practical and easy-to-do
activities to help kids apply God’s grace—every day and every moment.
For such a
small book, Grace for the
Moment© has had a
major impact on countless lives. With more than 2,500,000 copies sold, this
devotional continues to touch lives as it emphasizes the help and hope of God
in everyday moments. Each daily reading features devotional writings from Max
Lucado's numerous bestsellers as well as a Scripture verse selected especially
for that day's reading. This new classic is available in hardcover as well as
in both green and burgundy eurobond leather.
My Thoughts:
Daily devotions are one of those things that I always
want to implement, but always fall short. I think one of the reasons I never
follow through is I want to include my kids but it’s hard to find something I
can do with my kids that is meaningful for all of us. This devotion set is the
answer!
Devotions do not have to be long to be meaningful, and
the adult version of this set is proof of that. A small book that can fit into
your purse features a new devotion on each page. A verse and two or three short
paragraphs is all it takes. The devotions are meaningful and powerful, and just
right to get your day started.
And I love, love, love the kids version of this book. The
verse that is featured in the adult devotion is the same verse that is featured
for that day in the kid version. The devotions are written specific to kids and
the trials they face each day. Again, there is one devotion per page with only
a few paragraphs.
At the end of each page, the kid version features a ‘Growing
for Grace’ illustration that helps kids use every day events to imagine the
story being told. For example: next time you are at the lake, picture Peter in
the boat.
I am very excited to implement these new devotions into
our family routine beginning January 1. They are going to be the perfect
addition to our day.
