Devotional: Habakkuk 3:18

I found this scripture very encouraging this week. Habakkuk would have been one of those people who always had a hop in his step and a half full type of personality... in my opinion. Habakkuk was wise in this moment as he had pure joy even when the Babylonians invaded- he understood that he could lose it all but would still find joy in the Lord.

"Yet I will rejoice in the Lord! I will be joyful in the God of my salvation." What a lesson we all could hear as we are putting our fancy Christmas trees and expensive gifts. Don't allow these things to distant you from praising and rejoicing our giver of true gifts- Jesus! It seems that many people think they need the next best thing to find joy- they are chasing material items that leave them unsatisfied.

Habakkuk shows us that no matter we should focus on getting our Joy from God and when we praise and rejoice him even through the tough stuff we can be joyful in knowing our salvation is secure.

God, help me teach my children that yes we can have fun with running, jumping, spinning, and singing to Jesus! We can REJOICE in the good things he gives us but to not solely find joy in material things but on heavenly things. Help me model the joy of praising my SAVIOR!

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

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.

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...
