Bedtime Blessings

I am one who cannot study my bible with back ground noises such as tv and people talking so I redid one of our spare bedrooms into a sewing/reading room. It is really nice to get away and read with no distractions. 

While I was in there this morning I came across a book titled BEDTIME BLESSINGS by John Trent, Phd.  It is a book of activities you can do to help your little ones learn about God and stay interested in Him for awhile, hopefully, a life time.

My youngest daughter is not a firm believer in any form of religion.  She is  spiritualistic, she says.  Whatever that is, that is what she is.  I have her daughter every weekend though and we take her to church.  My daughter has no problem with this.  I have decided to do some of these activities with her and one is writing a letter to God every night.  I think it is such a cool idea.  She can talk to me about what she wants God to know and I will write the words for her and let her pretend to write.  This book is filled with Great ideas like that.  I am going to donate it to our church when I am done with it cause there are many young couples with children in there and I know they would use it.

I think I may be the only way my grand daughter will learn about Jesus and I am going to do what I can to make sure she does know.

  1. I think the letters are a beautiful idea. And I think that you are beautiful as well for teaching your granddaughter about Jesus. Something that I'm sure she will never forget Garnet! Love Di ♥

  3. JoAnn..I am in the same boat with both mine. One believes but only when it is convenient and the other is 'spiritual'. It saddens me.

  5. Great idea!! I wish my little 7 year old grandaughter lived closer to me and we can do this. That is a great idea to donate it to your church library. You are a good grammy!
