The Way of Love for Kids is a walk through a thoughtful set of practices designed to draw each of us closer to the heart of God. Over twelve episodes we will explore ways to connect with God and each other. Some of these practices may be familiar, while others may invite you toward a new way of wondering about God and this Way of Love.
Today KariAnn visits with siblings, Maeve and Gideon. We’ve looked at all seven practices on the Way of Love: Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go and Rest. We’ve tried some of them out for the first and explored new ways to look at things we have practiced for a long time. I’m not gonna lie today’s audio isn’t the greatest, but the heart of the message is still strong - practicing our faith isn’t about getting it perfect - it’s about growth. And today’s mini-BFF’s Gideon and Maeve are wonderful examples of how practicing our faith looks like kindness! We invite you to buckle up (if you are in the car - parents drive the speed limit) and/or settle in for a few minutes of wondering and wandering with us on the Way of Love for Kids.
Questions from The Way of Love for Kids Episode #10: 1. Which one of the practices did you like? 2. Which practice takes the most time? 3. What makes getting your practices done hard? 4. Which practice is the easiest to remember?
5. How do you help your family remember?
Additional Questions for wondering: Can you think of a way that you can give a blessing to a neighbor?
Challenge/Question(s)/Practice: 1. Try to pick up one of the practices that you didn’t understand the importance of the first time you tried. 2. Reach out to someone you love and encourage them to take up one of the practices.
We really hope you are enjoying the Way of Love podcast! Me and my mini-BFF’s have had a blast putting these episodes together (and if we are being honest we’ve enjoyed listening to ourselves too!) Now it’s YOUR TURN to share. We want to hear how you are practicing the Way of Love. We’d love to know which practice is your favorite? Turn, Learn, Pray, Worship, Bless, Go or Rest? Share a special memory you’ve created on the Way of Love. Tell us which practice is hard. Say your favorite table grace together for us as a family. Sing us your favorite song. We are going to put all of the messages together into one HUGE EPISODE - so we can ALL HEAR HOW WE are growing and learning on the Way of Love. Just give us a call at 832.377.1973 . Leave us a message - be sure to start by telling us your FIRST NAMES ONLY - along with your city and state and then share your story with us.
