January Family Devotionals

We are picking back up with the "Mealtime Moments" from Focus on the Family this month! Once again, I encourage you to find one night, each week, for your family to sit at the table and enjoy a meal together. This month we are going to choose from the "Wisdom from the Bible" category. There are eight different devotionals for this category. Look through these devotionals in advance and choose the five you would like to do with your family through out the month. A few of them require  preparation. If you find time to do more than one a week, even better! We will work our way through all the categories during 2013.

Here's a reminder on how these mealtime devotionals work:
After announcing the title, read the Mealtime Prayer suggestion and have one of your children pray. Then read the Appetizer. The Appetizer is just that, something to wet your appetite for more.
Follow it with the Main Course. This contains the "meat" of the section. Once you've given your family something to chew on, it's time for Table Talk. These challenging questions will make your kids think about what they have just learned and explain how to apply it to their daily lives. Finally, end with Vitamins and Minerals, a Bible verse that relates to the day's reading and discussion. You can even memorize the verse as a family each week.



 

Most of all enjoy your time together as a family, while being intentional about training them in the ways of the Lord.
