A Spoonful of Grace - Spotlight

The Scripture/grace devotions are inviting, can be grasped at several levels, and are brief enough (about two minutes) to hold the attention of hungry kids. Here's why:

• Each day has an application section called Grace Notes: ideas and quotes to further illustrate the message and stimulate conversation.
• Sundays are for Story Graces. These 52 devotions are a bit longer to afford the suspenseful, engrossing reading of stories such as David and Goliath, Daniel in the lions’ den, and Jonah and the big fish.
• Special Graces are celebrations such as  Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas, birthdays.
• Each grace:
  • Supports discussions of God’s attributes and of faith-based values, offering moral examples like forgiveness, friendship, honesty, trust, even table manners.
  • Creates curiosity about the Bible and ways in which Scripture can be applied to today’s issues.
  • Demonstrates how the act of praying together lifts one’s own spirit; fosters praise; and increases mutual feelings of appreciation, gratefulness, and accountability.
  • Teaches without overt instruction, similar to hiding extra veggies in the spaghetti sauce.
  • Remind us that our food, as well as God’s countless other daily blessings, is a gift.
