Dad, I Need to Talk
My son came down
yesterday while I was busy working and asked if I minded if he played
with my toy marquee sign and changed the message. I said, “Go for it!”
and showed him where all the letters were. A few minutes later he says
it is ready for viewing. I was surprised to see it said, “TO DAD I
NEED TO TALK OK?”
Wow! Kids have a way of
getting our attention. So I sat down, put my arm around him and asked,
“Well, what do you want to talk about?” I was secretly wondering if it
was serious; perhaps something had happened at school, or maybe it was
time for The Talk.
What happened next was a great reminder to me that I need to be spending more time with My Heavenly Father too. Read the story here.

Printable Devotionals for Kids
It’s difficult to teach
the importance of daily Bible reading to kids. Leah Pittsinger of
Ministry to Children has put together some monthly devotionals to get
you, and them, started.
"I’ve struggled for
quite some time to help the 5th and 6th graders in my Sunday school
class understand the importance of daily Bible reading and prayer. It
can be challenging for anyone to start (and stick with) the habit of
daily time with the Lord, but it’s even more true for today’s youth who
are busier and face more distractions than ever! So I put together a
monthly guide with a few verses and a question they can answer in a
journal to start learning how to study God’s word."
