Awana Night

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Mentioned before that Thursday night is AWANA night for this family!  (Approved workmen are not ashamed).  If you have not heard of AWANA they have a great website HERE.

My daughter is a cubby bear, my husband is the game director, and I am in charge of the T&T Challenge group (5th and 6th graders).  My daughter considers AWANA her school and I am a proud mama who loves seeing her grow in love with CHRIST.

Tonight was a fun night as I was the one who brought the mini message for large group time.  I enjoyed it and was so excited that I decided to ask clubbers if they could finish some of the verses I was using in the message.  Those kids were awesome, they knew the verse so quickly.  GREAT JOB CLUBBERS!!  

It was also a neat night because our theme was "Life Savior"  so my message was about "JESUS ONE WAY."  I had the privileged to teach a salvation message!  HOW NEAT!!

Overall I am thankful that our church offers such a great program.

My children also enjoy Awana's. They go every wendsday and are very excited the entire week to go again. My 4 year old just started this year and I am amazed at all of the things he learns. He comes home and tells me all about God and Gods creations and he even said his first bible verse on his own. Makes me such a proud momma:)

Thanks for your investment in kids' lives through Awana. Leadership is such a key to reaching and discipling kids in Christ. And parents are an even bigger key. Thanks for sharing your experiences online.

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared  teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
