I’ve referred to this book several times over the last 2 years. Its one of those books that Todd and I go back to again and again. We heard the author, John Younts, speak a few years ago, and really appreciated what he had to say to us.
The book uses Deuteronomy 6:6-7 as its theme. See above (in my banner) for the words of this verse. One of my favorite lines from the book says, “God is not just a Sunday God. He is for every day. If you live in awe of Him, your children will see that. If you love Him and serve Him, you will talk about Him every day, and your children will hear that."
That is what I want to be as a parent. A living example of what it is to love and serve God, EVERY DAY. Not just on Sundays, not just on Christmas and Easter. And sure I’m going to mess up, I do every day. But I hope my kids see that even when I do mess up, I still love God and he still loves me.
I am so blessed that God has given me the opportunity to be Mom to our three amazing kids! I find it the sweetest part of my life to get a peak at what God is doing in their lives, through the conversations we have during our plain, old everyday lives!
P.S.
There’s going to be a part 2 to this post with a fun giveaway, hopefully tomorrow or the next day.
