My Faith Box
I've talked before about the accountability group that I am in and it is part of Good Morning Girls. As with lots of blogs that I follow, they do give aways periodically. I, of course, enter with just the slim hope that my name will be randomly picked, which it 'never' is! Imagine my surprise when I checked e-mail the other night and there it was, an e-mail with a subject line of "You Won My Faith Box"! I was beyond thrilled to say the least. Than I checked the blog to see my name "up in lights" as the winner only to discover that the blog post-er (is that a word?) had given one to every one that commented! You can ready the full post here. It was really her husband's idea because they feel so strongly about this new parenting tool!
Here is the explaination of the box from The Good Morning Girls Post here
What is the My Faith Box? I’m so glad you asked! Basically it’s a box that you can decorate and place special keepsakes in, BUT the exciting part is what’s inside the box! Inside is the My Faith Book. What I LOVE about the My Faith Book is how as a parent you can record your child’s faith journey! From birth until age 18, you can record each year how you are praying for your child and create an intentional plan of passing down your faith to your child. Each year contains areas for you to record special memories, what they are learning about God, what they are praying for, favorite bible stories etc. As your child gets older, he/she can then start filling in each year. The book also contains areas for photos as well as areas for older children to personally write about their journey thus far with God. What I love is this book helps create a history of your child’s faith that they can turn back to in later years. The My Faith Book is a tool that can be used to help them remember the faithfulness of God as they flip through the pages and see how God has answered prayers that were written down years before
Isn't that awesome? I already prayer for my boys daily but this will be such a great legacy as well. I'm so looking forward to getting this great gift! Once I get it, I may have to purchase a second one if it isn't made to list items for both boys, which is fine since it is such a great thing. It would also make a great gift for a new parent as well!!
This book is also available through the same site and I already had this written down as a must read.
Now I know I have to get it for my next set of reading materials starting in January. I thinking building your child's faith is of the utmost importance today. Too many times, Christianity is made "lite" and things are acceptable now amoung Christians that the Bible teaches are not acceptable.
