Now that we’ve entered into 2020, many of us are looking at annual resolutions that include exercising, eating healthier and losing weight. And, as we all know, many of these resolutions don’t last very long because of our busy lives, including our children, work and activities. But what if you created a resolution to focus on your family this year?
With the help of family-friendly daily or weekly devotionals, you can nourish your family’s health with faith and fun. Regular family devotions give us a chance to learn, discuss and grow spiritually. Whether it be at bedtime, around the dinner table or a Friday night, I encourage you to consider committing to a family devotion this year. Let’s look at new beginnings, not resolutions.

Going beyond Bible stories, your whole family will enjoy discussing biblical words and themes at a level those from 5 to 95 will understand.

The Very Best, Hands-On, Kinda Dangerous Family Devotions
By Tim Shoemaker
Regular family devotions are important. Unfortunately, they’re often…boring. But what if devotions looked less like sitting still and listening to someone read and more like, say, electrocuting a pickle? Or converting a leaf blower into a toilet paper launcher? These hands-on, totally unforgettable object lessons are not only more fun than other family devotions. So, get out the safety goggles and start bringing the truths of Scripture to life in your household.
