A Note from Keirstin:
When we think about our faith in God, it stands out in life's big moments.
When we just received a scary medical diagnosis.
When we are asked to do something we don’t feel capable of doing.
When we aren’t sure where to go next.
It is harder to see, but trusting God is part of our ordinary moments of life, too.
When we are stuck in traffic.
When our children are bickering.
When we are waiting in line.
When someone scrapes their knee.
When we lose our patience.
When plans change.
When we are grocery shopping.
These ordinary moments are discipleship moments.
We don’t want to raise children who think that God lives at church or that He only shows up on Sunday mornings. We also don’t want to raise children who think that we only talk about God around the kitchen table for family devotion once a week.
Sunday morning worship is where we learn the truth that we will apply in our lives Monday - Saturday… at the dinner table, in the car, on the field, at school, and every other ordinary moment we are blessed with.
Let’s make Sunday morning a Saturday night decision together.
Weekly Challenge
It is Halloween. Prepare well today. If your family plans on being out in your community this evening, don’t forget to prepare for worship before the fun begins. Pick out clothes, set alarms, make a plan for breakfast, read the Word of God, and pray together.
Halloween is a great opportunity to be present in your community. When else are people just showing up on your doorstep?
Family Conversation Starter
What is a characteristic of God that we learned about today?
One simple question can lead to deeper conversation.
Scripture for the Week
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Practice applying the knowledge you have about God in the ordinary moments of life this week.
A Prayer for Your Family
Lord, You are lovely and holy. Thank You for the ordinary moments of our life. Thank You for the car rides we have to be together, the meals we have to share together, the games we play together, and the moments we can encourage each other all week long. Help us to be aware of the purpose of those moments and how to glorify You in them.
