Read this with Nathan in the evenings. Had many good thoughts. Didn't agree with everything and some of the Bible versions used didn't even sound like the verses I know.🤷‍♀️

This is a wonderful devotional for parents with little time. There are some really great thoughts in this book, and some lessons hit very close to home. There are definitely ideas you can put into practice. Highly recommended.

I've added more devotional to my time with God for my children. I'm hoping to start this back in Feb if the Lord willing.
