On the Go Family Devotional: In Your Backyard

The Backyard: Go cloud watching.  Read Psalm 19:1, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.”  Replicate the clouds with a cotton ball art project.  Read It Looked Like Spilt Milk, by Charles G. Shaw.

Plant a vegetable or flower garden.  Take care of it daily.  (Even dead plants are a great object lesson if things don’t work out!)  Read Mark 4:30-32, the Parable of the mustard seed.

Play games, have fun, and be silly.  Jesus promises us life to the full.  What does that mean?

Hunt for bugs.  Find a caterpillar and a butterfly.  Discuss 2 Corinthians 5:17.

At night, chase fireflies.  Notice how they stand out in the darkness.  Play flashlight tag.  Sing, “This Little Light of Mine.”  Search for constellations.
