Family Devotional: Faith of Abraham and Bonus Old Testament Timeline
Welcome back for another week of doing the best thing you could possibly ever do for your family…studying the Bible together! I continue to receive positive feedback on the family devotional series. It is good to hear that a number of you are using this material and I am pleased to announce that I now know of a third church that is sharing this material with their congregation. I am truly pleased that we can offer these materials at absolutely no cost!
I’d like to share a short story with you. It was written by that prolific writer – ‘unknown’
Old Brother Higgins built a shelf
for the family bible to rest itself
lest a sticky finger or grimy thumb
might injure the delicate pages some.
He cautioned his children to touch it not
and it rested there with never a blot
though the Higgins tribe was a troublesome lot.
His neighbor, Miggins, built a shelf
“Come children,” he said, “and help yourself.”
His book is old and ragged and worn,
with some of the choicest pages torn,
where children have fingered and thumbed and read.
But of the Miggins tribe I’ve heard it said,
each carries a Bible in his head.
Bibles were meant to be used and enjoyed. Some of the best people I know are children who have grown up in a home where God is an honored guest. I appreciate each one of you who spend quality time with your children. Loving them, teaching them, and cherishing them is a privilege and a blessing. This week’s study includes a bonus timeline of the Old Testament.
