Even little Manuel comes to morning devo
Monday through Saturday we start the day with a thirty minute devotional. During the school year that starts at 6:00. Now that school is out, we start at 7:00.
As you can imagine, with this many people, there are some that are not morning people. Most of the kids come in their pajamas and with they bring yawns, sleepy eyes and bed heads. They are so cute.
We sing several songs, some in english, some in spanish. Some sing their hearts out; others barely open their mouths. There are a couple of prayers. And they have to say the Bible verse of the week in both english and spanish.
Monday Karen told them to say a verse they had already learned. They could choose. Pamela recited Psalm 91 in its entirety. That was not something we had worked on in devo, just something she chose to do herself on her own time. This week and next week we are learning Psalm 100, what I call the thanksgiving psalm.
Yawns, sleepy eyes, bed heads and cheerful little voices praising God is a good way to start the day.

What a wonderful way to start the day. One of my biggest regrets is that we did not have daily devotionals at home when our kids were small. Folks never forget daily devotionals from when they were young. They will always mention them when they get older. Just one of my regrets, I have many but try to not focus on them so much. linda

I'm so proud of Pamela!
