Kids, Creation and God

I have decided to join Cath from Squiggle Mum with her new post idea for ‘Growing In God’. At the start of the month (as you can see I’m running a bit late) we are invited to share how our family grows in God through something we talk about or do together etc.. Thanks Cath for starting this, I think its a great idea!

As you know we’ve been away on holidays for quite a while now. This means we are out of any form of routine which is of course doubled by the fact that its the summer school holidays. Whenever we are over here we spend a lot of time exploring the area (which you may have noticed from my previous posts), visiting rainforests, waterfalls, farms, lakes, rivers etc etc…. As far as I can tell the girls enjoy exploring as long as we include a few stops at playgrounds along the way or let them go swimming where possible and safe.

The girls are getting to the age where there are lots of questions and Little L answers most things with ‘why?’. We take every opportunity to explain to them what the Bible says about God being the number one artist around, showing them how creative he is. We don’t sit down and have family devotions every day but we do try to incorporate God into the every day. Its important that they don’t associate God just with serious talk, praying before a meal or church. What better way to get to know the creator than to spend time in his creation!
