Starting their day on the right track

It's hard to believe it is almost time for the kids to go back to school. Some of my favorite memories growing up was the time spent with Mom in the morning. She'd gather us together for a simple devotional and pray for us before school. As the youngest I had the privilege of more years with Mom alone in the morning. Here are some great product suggestions to start your day focused on Jesus...
MY READ AND RHYME STORY BIBLE
This Bible Storybook combines fun rhythm and rhyme with a learn-to-read format to help students learn about God’s Word while they learn to read. Young readers will enjoy the lively text and rhythm as well as the stories and engaging art.
An excerpt from The One Year Devotional for Kids
Serve Jesus, Not Things
"Wherever your treasure is, there your heart and thoughts will also be." Matthew 6:21
How about you? Are you unhappy because of the bikes or games your friends have that you don't have? Those things are nice, but the really important and lasting treasures are available to you, too. It's only what you do for Jesus that's going to last forever."
The One Year Every Day Devotions
Each devotion encourages tweens to build a personal, active faith based on the core beliefs of the Bible and the Christian faith. Each day's reading combines insights, NLT Scripture verses, and statements of Christian belief, creative applications, and prayer suggestions. Previously published as Young Believer 365.
