'If you are worried about your kids, know that God is at work in their lives and has a unique journey for each of them.' - Y Bonesteele
This tool takes some preparation, but some parents really enjoy this part. Make a grab bag or folder of word searches, coloring books, and/or crosswords that are Bible-based. Or even better, make one that goes along with the current sermon theme. Find out what the passage for the week is on and correlate it with your activities. Doing this will at least have the whole family on the same biblical themes for discussion over lunch.
Find the balance. Find your family’s balance. Habits are important, but if your kids dread church, something needs to change. An enjoyable experience is important but learning a disciplined life is also a valuable lesson. Both schools of thought are true to a certain extent. But you know your family and your children best and what they need in the way they need it. And God knows your heart, and He is at work in the hearts of your children.
In the end, what is most important is that you are daily leading your family to follow Jesus and Scripture. Sunday mornings are helpful, but if you are not emphasizing following Jesus, studying the Word of God, and growing in the fruit of the Spirit throughout the week, Sunday mornings won’t help that much after all. If you are worried about your kids, know that God is at work in their lives and has a unique journey for each of them.
