Devotional Time




In a perfect world, this would be how my daughter would be put together everyday; fancy dress, a little necklace, no stains, you get the picture. Also in a perfect world my devotional time with my kids would be uninterrupted, thought provoking, and a real time for reflection. Instead, at this age it usually ends up more along the lines of this:
I really have no excuse, I had one of the best examples of how to run a kids devotional time from a family we lived with after Hurricane Katrina (that in itself is a whole other story for a whole other time). At breakfast every morning she would read a bible related story, talk to the kids about it, and it was awesome and organized.
Currently I'm using a Veggie Tales devotional book, and honestly the time isn't all that bad. My oldest did remember the verse from yesterday, but our discussion was being held as the younger one drove her car up and down the hallway, such is life sometimes I guess. I would love to hear how others handle this time, I know there is no perfect answer, but this is definitely something I want to fill my girls days, so that hopefully it becomes routine enough that it fills their days even when they are all grown up and know how to eat spaghetti without ruining an outfit ;)
