Read today's devotional from The Upper Room website
Do not grumble against one another, so that you may not be judged. See, the Judge is standing at the doors!
-James 5:9 (NRSV)
With all the snow days piling up, I'm sure you may hear some grumbling in the house. I'm sure many of us have said that we don't want any more snow this year! As I sit at the computer, I hear a bird trying to sing a song of hope right outside my window. I'm sure he is waiting for sunny days, but still wanting to sing-maybe to keep his spirits high. For us, we can sing along with the radio, mp3 player, or ipod today. It just might lift our spirits up the the Lord.
God Sightings-
For Children of all ages-Toddlers to Tweens
1. Turn on the Christian radio station nearest you and sing along in the car or at home. Or turn some fun children's music you may have on cd. Listen with your children and make up a fun dance or movements. (you can move your baby's (or toddler's) arms and legs with the music and lift him/her high in the air with the music.)
2. Try and see who can come up with 5 good reasons for the abundance of snow we are having (ex: greener grass come Spring, etc.). Write them down and thank God for His blessings and yell to the top of your voices, "Praise God"
3. Put some bread crumbs, or whatever you may have outside for our little feathered frieds where the kids can watch for the birds to come. They are surely looking for food right now. Yesterday, I saw a little brown bunny hopping around also. I put a carrot outside. I don't see the carrot today!!!
Pray: Thank you God for the snow (make snow coming down with your fingers), the rain (make rain coming down with your fingers) and for Your abundant blessings (press both fingers together and place up to face and then bring hands down and spread fingers). Amen
