Prayer ( 1 Thessalonians 5:17) - Make it A Lifestyle: Go beyond only before mealtimes and bedtimes.2. Eat the Word Daily (Matthew 4:4)  -Read children's Bibles (My Hands-on Bible, Pray & Play Bible, The Beginner Bible, etc.) - Bible Reading Tips: Read with expression, use props or puppets, songs, etc. - Live out the Word- Children watch how we as adults respond and interact with the world around them John 13:34-35 3. Praise and Worship Music ( Psalm 150)-  Start the day with praise and worship music softly playing even as they get ready. Have family praise and worship time in which each family chooses a song to sing, play, or listen; (our cells respond to the word of God and the names of God) Today’s thought Consideration – Live out the word every day through play. Nothing compares to experiencing God through nature. Also, having fun even when life is not fun by sharing the truth with hands-on engagement helps our children discover God's bigness. Join Breanna online -  The Brown Bear Book Club www.brownbearbookclub.com Latest Book: The Little Bird Who Wanted to Fly   Join the club www.brownbearbookclub.com for free and 3+ freebies (Little’s Bird Scavenger Hunt, Little Bird’s Yearly Planner, Prayer for Kids, Spring Booklist)  Staying Real Just Got Easier!Discover Your God-Designed PersonalityFollow Linda Goldfarb on FacebookLeave a comment for Linda and HeatherCheck out Linda's BooksCheck out Heather's Books
