HomeFront Check-In - CONTENTMENT

We now are nearing the end of June's 30 Day Prayer calendar and I would like to check in once more with a final pairing of two of my favorite Spiritual Parenting resources, HomeFront Magazine and Seeds Family Worship music! 

There are tons of fun family activities, stories and recipes in the June Issue and even marriage devotions. 
Sunday is a great day to bring the family together and focus your hearts on the Lord! I encourage you to listen to new music and spend some family time together -- now is the time to instill these values in your kids (and to set your heart on things above as well!) 

Today's topic is one that is sure to strike a chord in your family--For me it is something that is a fairly consistent measuring stick. Am I content with my living situation, my position (when I worked outside of the home), our family's finances, our generosity, what I have and what I don't? Am I content with such things as I have, for he himself has said, "I will never leave you, nor forsake you?" Hebrews 13:5 

And again here in our verses today, discover why we CAN be content. A hard lesson to let sink in!

Today's word: contentment

The passage today is:: 

 I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well-fed or hungry, living in plenty or in want. 

I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:12-13

New International Version (NIV)

Seeds Family Worship has another song that corresponds with the passage of the day streaming free HERE called The Secret from Philippians 4:12-13! HomeFront made the suggestion of choosing one verse from the week and memorizing as a family. I believe that this song is a great way to start your week! One really neat aspect about order a physical CD from Seeds Family is that you actually receive 2 -- one for you and one to share with a friend! --what a great way to spread God's Word!

What are your favorite ways to connect spiritually as a family?

HomeFront Check-In - GRACE

This month we are going through the prayer calendar as a starting point to focus our hearts on the Spirit of God! I've been pairing two of my favorite Spiritual Parenting resources, HomeFront Magazine and Seeds Family Worship music! 

When I was looking at today's topic and verse I was excited to find another overlap in these resources. Saturday is a great time to listen to new music and spend some family time together, so check it out!

Today's word: grace

The passage today is:: 

 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith-- and this not from yourselves it is the gift of God--not by works so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

New International Version (NIV)

Seeds Family Worship has another song that corresponds with the verse of the day streaming free HERE called Grace from Ephesians 2:8! HomeFront made the suggestion of choosing one verse from the week and memorizing as a family. This song would be a great place to start! When you purchase a CD from Seeds Family Worship, you actually receive 2 -- one for you and one to share with a friend! --what a great way to spread God's Word!

Have a wonderful weekend!

This month [JUNE 2014] We are going through the prayer calendar as a starting point to focus our hearts on the Spirit of God!

Today's word: compassion

The verse today is:: 

 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness and patience Colossians 3:12

English Standard Version (ESV)

Seeds Family Worship has another song that corresponds with the verse of the day streaming free HERE called Put On Love from Colossians 3:12&14! This would be a great choice for a family verse of the week! 

Happy Thursday!

HomeFront Check-In

I love learning while browsing through the HomeFront Magazine from David C Cook's TRU Children's Ministry Curriculum. The magazine is a FREE monthly resource for families:: http://homefrontmag.com/

This month [JUNE 2014] I really thought it would be a great opportunity to go through their 30 day prayer calendar. Each day has a verse and a theme attribute or fruit of the Spirit to pray through and incorporate as a family. 

Today's word: peace

The verse today is::  

You will keep in perfect peace

those whose minds are steadfast, 

because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3

New International Version (NIV)

Seeds Family Worship has a wonderful family tune streaming for free HERE called The Rock Eternal from Isaiah 26:3-4! This is a wonderful way to help you and your kids remember and be encouraged by the Word of God throughout the day.

Blessings on your family!
