Over the last several years, I have read some Bible stories to my boys. We've enjoyed Noah's Ark and David and Goliath. One of the favorites is Adam and Eve. My son, Ronan, received a children's picture Bible and enjoyed listening to it to the very end. I really wanted to move on from Bible stories and go a little more in depth with the boys about God, faith, and His enduring love.
This last Easter, I found a simple solution in VeggieTales 365 Bedtime Devos for Boys when I was looking for a little Easter basket stuffer. The book features the well known VeggieTale characters and includes a short devotional for everyday of the year. The devotionals are simple one page reads, but they are the right length for a 6 year old and 3 year old to listen to together. It has given me the opportunities I needed to talk more in depth about God and his desire for us to follow Jesus. Each devotional also includes a prayer. Hopefully, we will even start to memorize some of the verses that go along with the devotionals.
Next spring, I hope we have covered the entire book. My oldest son, Ronan, is excited to stay on track and finish this "thick" book.
