The long, relaxing days of summer are over and families are getting back into the routine of going back to school. I don’t know about you, but I always liked the excitement of the first days back at school. And while routines can get a bad rap, there was always a welcome relief that came with the routine as well.
Those first few days of school can be hectic as everyone gets used to the routine again. Getting out the door in the morning can be challenging, but why not take this opportunity to instill some new habits in your children by instituting a short devotion time? Starting the day off with a few minutes of scripture and a prayer can really help start your child’s day off right.
I hear what you are thinking. It is hard enough to find time to get the kids dressed, fed, and out the door in time without trying to squeeze a little devotional time in the mix. I understand how this can seem daunting and like just one more item on the to-do list.
But the thing is, devotions with kids don’t have to be long and they don’t have to be yet another thing to squeeze into the morning routing. You can be creative in getting devotional moments into the day. Here are some ideas to get you started.
There are many other ways to add devotional moments into the day. The biggest thing to remember is to be intentional and to look for those moments in your everyday routine.
