Teaching our Littles to shine their lights is a daily practice. I love Sheila Walsh’s Shine Your Light Devotional for this very reason. Though everything of Sheila’s that I have read has been a treasure, this one in particular has to be my favorite. With memory verses, new words to learn, prayer prompts, and activities and ideas that go along with the lessons, this addition to the God’s Little Angel series is sure to have your little angel letting her light shine.
How can we, as Christians, help usher in these final days? What is our role, or more importantly, what is Israel’s role? If you want to know, the Bible has the answers.

This week in Heaven Is for Real for Kids: 13 Sunday School Lessons for Ages 4-8 , we discovered that “Everyone is Happy in Heaven”.

To celebrate Dr. Seuss’s birthday, or what my daughter calls “The Lorax’s Birthday”, we decided to make Truffula Treats. They are easy, fun, and a great story time treat.
In honor of Dr. Seuss’ birthday tomorrow I decided to make “Healthier Green Eggs”, a recipe I created a couple years ago for my daughter’s birthday. It was the perfect entrée since her birthday happens to be on St. Patty’s Day. Not only is it the color of choice, but it’s also super healthy and yummy too. You may find that your kids may just be asking for more. They may even eat them in a box.
One book I have already decided to include and implement into next year’s Bible schedule is Children’s Favorite Bible Stories from Tommy Nelson. It’s jam-packed with all the ingredients needed to cook up a Bible lesson that’s rich in taste and full of texture.
Once upon a time, Sara Ella brought dreams to life as a Disney cast member, wishing for the day she’d find her prince and live in a castle of her own. Now she spends her days homeschooling her three Jedi in training, braving the Arizona summers, and reminding her superhero husband that it's almost Christmas (even if it's only January). Sara is the award-winning author of The Wonderland Trials, Coral, and the Unblemished trilogy. She is old enough for fairy tales and believes happily ever after is never far away. Read More…
