Psalm 42:1,2

by | May 25, 2020 | Mom Blog, Audio, Let's Pray

“As the deer pants for the water brooks, So pants my soul for You, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?”

On this blog post I welcome you to join me in prayer for our children! God invites us to call to Him in prayer, and what better way to do this than to pray using the truths found in His Word? This practice of using God’s Word in prayer has been such a blessing in my life and I am happy to use God’s Word in prayer with you!

After praying with me using the audio, I would encourage you to write the Bible verse used in prayer on a card. (Two simple 4″x6″ prayer cards are available as a free download, or feel free to use a blank index card you already have.) Your prayer card can be used again and again as you pray for your children in the days ahead.

My Street

by | May 13, 2020 | Mom Blog, Prayer Activities, Talk to God in Prayer, Talk to God in Prayer Free Download, Videos

My Street is a creative way to pray for your neighbors with your children. Years ago, I enjoyed using this idea with our daughters and it is fun for me to share it with you!

My Street

Here are some more details related to the information about My Street that I share on the video:

Praying for Neighbors You Have Yet to Meet

You may not know every neighbor on your street by name. Pray for them anyway! God will know exactly who you are talking about and He cares about them deeply. Pray for the opportunity to meet them and eventually you will be able to add their name to the back of their house card.

Use a Pencil

It could be helpful to use a pencil when you write the names of your neighbors on the back of the houses. Then if a neighbor family moves, you can erase their names and write in your new neighbor’s names.

Free Download

This prayer activity is available for free. You are welcome to download and print a copy for free to use with your children.

Printed Copy

If you would prefer to obtain a printed copy of My Street it is available for purchase in the Daughters of Decision Shop.

Step, Stop and Say!

by | May 7, 2020 | Mom Blog, Memorize God's Word, Videos

Step, Stop and Say is a fun way to enjoy memorizing a Bible verse with your children. This video introduces the activity and explains how to get started. See further ways to enjoy this activity here:

FOR CHILDREN WHO
HAVE YET TO READ

Step in a Circle!

Place the verse cards in a circle. Step around the circle as you say the verse. 

Step it Up!

Take the Bible memory word cards and lay the cards in order up your stairs, one card per step. Walk up the stairs saying each word of the verse.

Step it Down!

Lay the cards in order starting at the top of the stairs and going down the stairs. Walk down the stairs saying each word of the verse.

FOR CHILDREN
WHO CAN READ

Turn it Over!

After you have enjoyed “Step, Stop and Say” for a few days, you may like to have your child turn one word card over so that he can no longer see the word on the card. Have your child say the verse again as he steps to each card. Your child will need to remember the word that he can no longer see as he says the verse. Continue to turn more cards over when your child is ready to say the verse without seeing those words.

Draw!

Your child may enjoy drawing a picture on the back of each card that will remind him of the word on the other side of the card. These drawings will be a helpful hint when saying the verse with cards turned over.

Step Outside!

RUN: Place the cards around the edge of your yard. Leave a lot of space between each card. Have your child run to each card and then stop and say each word.

HIDE: Hide the cards around the backyard. Make sure a part of the each hidden card is showing. Have your child collect the cards as he finds them. Then ask him to put the cards in verse order. Read or say the verse together with or without the cards.

FOR OLDER CHILDREN
WHO CAN READ

A Complete Verse!

Enjoy “Step, Stop and Say” using Bible memory cards that have a complete Bible verse on them. Each step will give your child the opportunity to review another memory verse!

SAVE THE CARDS – Each time you have finished using the cards, have your child collect the cards. Use a paper clip to keep the cards together and put the cards with your other Scripture Memory resources to use again.

Why the Teddy Bear?

The Teddy Bear in this video is letting you know that the idea shared is great for little children too! If your children are not old enough to quote the Bible memory verses, you can say the verses while they listen. You may also like to make the game board with a 3×3 grid instead of a 4×4 grid.
