Cookin' With the Kiddos

Here's a cute fall idea to involve the kids in the kitchen. (It's even great for preschoolers)

Make caramel apples together. Dip apples (on sticks) into melted caramel and roll them around in toppings: nuts, sprinkles, coconut etc. Let the apples dry on a waxed paper lined cookie sheet.

While you're making the yummy treats, talk to your kids about the harvest, since fall is officially here. Check out Psalm 65:9.

Happy Fall!!!

Biblical Command for Families


“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.  Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”         Deuteronomy 6:4-9
Recap:
Talk about them when you sit at home
and when you walk along the road,
when you lie down
and when you get up.


Family Devotion Time Rhythm for Busy Families
Sit -> meal time
Walk -> traveling (to school, grandma’s, etc)
Lie Down -> tucking in at bedtime
Get up -> morning routine
