Mom-Daughter Connection Ezine

Mom-Daughter Connection Ezine
Issue 36, November 19, 2007©

Hello Everyone!

Sorry, for the delay on the newsletter, I have been sick, and I’m still a little sluggish honestly. This is one of my favorite weeks of the year. The week of Thanksgiving, which I am truly Thankful for, because I love Thanksgiving and all it brings, time with family, good food, a time to reflect and give thanks.

For this week, I just want to say that I hope that you will show your thanks to the LORD for all that he does for and gives to us, the many blessings of life. Make sure you instill in your daughter this feeling of gratitude. It is so important. Other than that, I just hope that you have a Happy Thanksgiving. God Bless you and your family.

Some Keys to Quiet Time

Quiet time or time alone with God is so important to all of us. I believe that it is how we as Christians grow in Christ. Becoming a Christian should be more to us than just “fire insurance” or a way to stay out of hell. I think it is important to emphasize to our children that being a Christian involves more than just accepting Jesus. It is about forming and growing a “relationship” with God. As a youth/children’s minister, I used this example many times. If you have any relationship, whether it is with a friend, a parent, a boyfriend/girlfriend, how do you get to know that person, through spending time with them right? And if you don’t spend time with them you cannot “get to know them”. The same goes with our relationship with God. We must spend time with Him in order to get to know Him, and there is no way that we will get to know Him if we do not spend time with Him. It is that simple. That is why our quiet time is so important.

The Christian life is a growth process, in order to grow we must spend time reading God’s word, talking to God, listening to God, memorizing Scripture, applying Scripture to our lives, all of these things we can do during our quiet time with God each day. There are some several “keys” to having a quiet time; I would like to briefly share some of them with you.

Keys to Quiet Time:

?Find a special place to have it.
?Bring your Bible, pen, paper and an open mind.
?Set aside a specific time each day.
?Be prepared to hear from God.
This is just the beginning of how to have a quiet time. I would love for you to join Cindy Rushton and I at the Talk-A-Latte chat on Tuesday, May 29, at 1 pm CST where will be discussing quiet times.
