Sunday's Stories

One of the easiest ways to talk about spiritual things with your child is to review with them what they learned at church on Sunday. I often hear stories about the funny things children respond with when they get the question, "What did you learn today at church?" Following up in the car on the way home or at bedtime Sunday night is a great way to review what your child learned and build on it.
But Sunday's Bible story can serve to encourage spiritual conversation all throughout the week. Depending on how much your child remembers, you can add to the story each day or night. By mid-week, your child should begin to be able to tell you the story. By later in the week, maybe they can write it, act it or draw it out.
Make the story review a regular part of each day. Share what the particular story has taught you or how you felt when you heard the story. Talk with your child about what a particular story teaches about God, His love for us and our need for Jesus.
May Sunday's stories serve to teach, encourage and equip you and your child throughout the week!
