DEVOTIONALS | INSPIRE POINT | DAILY DOABLE
A 3,500-Year-Old Template For Devotionals
The time-tested template that parents have been using for centuries
One of the challenges of parenting is to come up with fresh devotional ideas even when you’ve done them for years. If you find yourself stuck, think of a devotional this way.
You’re simply having a conversation about life lessons with your children.
Here is one template that will release your imagination to soar with ideas. It comes from scripture written around 3,500 years ago.
These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. ~Deuteronomy 6:6–9
These verses can be templatized into the following sentence.
WHENEVER and WHEREVER the opportunity presents itself, talk about (blank) to your kids.
- It might be at the dinner table.
- It might be on the way to school.
- It might be at the grocery store.
- It might even be when you’re making a Minion costume with your son😃
Daily Doable: Whenever and wherever talk to your children about life lessons. Those conversations will benefit them for years to come.
