Sticky Situations

Greetings from chilly Dayton, Ohio USA! The current temperature is a "balmy" 16 degrees Fahrenheit. We had our first big snow storm over the weekend.

Some time ago my wife and I bought a children's devotional book entitled "Sticky Situations" for us to use with our kindergartner:

The book is organized by each day of the year, with a specific topic as the monthly focus. There even is a memory verse related to that monthly topic.

The lesson is a story about a school-aged child who is put in a "sticky situation." The child is presented with three choices on how to respond. To help the child to make the right decision, we refer to the scripture that is mentioned. Then we discuss among ourselves what we should do in that kind of situation.

It's gotten to the point that our daugher expects this when we sit down for breakfast every morning. As I set breakfast on the table, she gets the book and a Bible. We go through the lesson as we eat.

I think that these devotionals are good not only for her but for me, too!
