Teaching our kids to PRAY BIG!!
November 2014
I love November! I love how autumn is in full force everywhere I look. I love the fun times with family, and the delicious thanksgiving meals! I love the opportunity to take an entire month to reflect on the blessings that God has provided . . . I love November!
In addition to offering suggestions for prayer, this month’s calendar also has a focus on thanksgiving. Be sure to spend time in thankfulness every day with your children this month. In fact, why don’t you take a moment right now to share some of the blessings God has provided for you this past year? Scroll down to the bottom of this page and leave a comment telling one thing you are thankful for. How awesome would it be for this page to be a prayer calendar AND an online, ongoing prayer of thanks!
I’ll start.
I am thankful, first of all, for my family. I am thankful for the family I grew up in. I am thankful that I had godly parents who spent time with me and raised me in the ways of the Lord.
(I’m the cute little one in the front . . . and this picture was for a special celebration — I was not alive during pioneer times!!)
Second, I am thankful for the family I have now. I am thankful to have a godly husband who has been my best friend for over 20 years and for five very energetic, healthy, loveable boys who keep me busy (and entertained!)
Third, I am thankful for the gifts God has given me. I am so thankful that He helped me publish my new devotional. I am so thankful that He gave me the ideas and helped me put them together . . . and I am thankful that He is using this book to touch lives. I am especially thankful that He can use imperfect, ordinary people like me to do His work! (If you haven’t yet checked out the devotional, you may want to. Who knows – maybe God wants to use it in your life!) Here’s the link:
But most importantly, I am thankful for Jesus Himself. Words cannot even come close to expressing the gratitude I have to Him for saving me and giving me His peace each and every day!
Okay, now it’s your turn! Scroll down and leave your thankful comment. . .
Then come back and get your November prayer calendar! And, as always, if you cannot print off the pdf, the days are all listed below.
I’ll see you in December!
