Today was Mason’s first day of Kindergarten, and thus his first time using the God Time Cards that Kidz Quest provides. What is the verdict? Mason loves them. He loves them so much that he wanted to go over the material twice! That is exactly what we did. Not only did we make one prayer Journal together, we made a separate one that he could write in whenever he wants.
Ever since the birth of our first child, Mason, the words of Jesus, “Let the little children come to me. Don’t keep them away,” (Matthew 19:14) stood out to me. In response my wife and I instill in our children’s hearts lessons and stories about God and His people. We read children’s Bible storybooks and read through children’s Bibles with them. We also have deep discussions about God, Jesus and man. The results are great! My children have a natural hunger to learn, and teaching them what I know is very rewarding. It deepens our relationships, builds fond memories and helps them to know God.
The best lessons in life do not come from a child’s classroom or Sunday school class, but at home. Arnold Glasow says it best, “The family fireside is the best of schools.” If you are not using the God Time Cards or you started and for one reason or another stopped, it is time to start doing them again. God Time cards are designed to help your elementary age child begin the habit of seeking after God on their own and personalizing their relationship with Him. Take advantage of this resource. The eternal value for both you and your child is worth the investment!
Ultimately the best School in Town is your very own home.
