The twins are in kindergarten and learning new concepts are part of everyday life. We have always read to the twins daily as part of our custom. Now that they are in kindergarten, we log the books we read to them (or that they read as practice) for their reading progress at school. As a nightly routine, we like the last book read to have godly content so that the twins can rest with peaceful thoughts in their minds. Being a Tommy Nelson Mommy, offered me the opportunity to review God and Me, a colorful kid-centered daily devotional.
What I really enjoyed about each devotional is that they are focused on topics that affect children everyday, i.e., arguing, taking turns, feeling shy, fears at night, playing with friends, etc. The short posts (which are direct and perfect for all kids who usually tend to have short attention spans) discuss a common child-issue and asks questions so that the children can think about their own actions and say what they would do. A complimentary bible story or verse is included along with a brief kid-friendly prayer.
The common background theme with all the devotionals is introducing and showcasing God’s love for children (and adults). Through encouragement and situations that children face, each devotional teaches about how God cares for them, what God is like and how He want wants them to live. As is the case with most children, our twins think about God as He affects their own personal life – its something they own. They think about how God wants them to behave at school or at home. Just like when they say “My Mommy” (even though they are twins and share the same Mom) they relate everything as it relates directly to them…My Teacher, My Daddy, My Big Brother etc. The devotional are fashioned as a two-way conversation between the child and the devotional to make it easier for them to understand.
God and Me, through its short child-friendly and familiar topics, is helping children to develop a relationship with God and a positive relationship with the world around them everyday.

I have been looking for a devotional that was at a level where my 6 year old daughter could understand. There are so many devotionals but some go over the heads of kids so I’m happy to learn about God and Me. Thanks for the giveaway,
