Do you remember when you were
really young? Were you afraid you would have a hard time making friends? Maybe
you were anxious about trying out for the soccer team. You might have been
concerned you wouldn’t be invited to a classmate’s birthday party.
It doesn’t matter how old you
are, we all face fears. The question is whether we let those fears prevent us
from doing what we were made to do – or we persevere in spite of them.
Passing along truth
The Lord has a purpose and plan
for each person He has created. And part of His plan includes relationships
with others.
It’s never too early to begin
teaching our children biblical truths like these. Here’s how Moses put it:
And thou shalt teach them
diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine
house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when
thou risest up. Deuteronomy 6:7
A fun option
Teaching godly truths can be
done throughout the day in a variety of ways. If you enjoy reading to your
kids, my new children’s book, Louie’s BIG day! will help you convey
these concepts through a fun storyline:
Louie is a bright red
lawnmower who used to live at the hardware store with his friends: Ruthie Rake,
Eddie Edger, Bobbie Blower, Terri Trowel, and Henri Hose. Recently he was
purchased by a man and his wife and now he’s on his own.
Louie misses his friends,
but it’s time to find out if he can do the job he was made to do. Join Louie
for his BIG adventure and discover the surprise that awaits him at the end of
the day!
Louie the Lawnmower series
The first in the Louie the
Lawnmower book series, Louie’s BIG day! wraps up with questions to
engage you and your child in conversation and help you re-emphasize biblical
truths.
Louie even has his own website
where you can download a free copy of the audio version of Louie’s BIG day! Louie’s
adventures are just getting started. Keep your eyes open for the second book in
the Louie the Lawnmower series: Louie & the Leaf Pile, due out later
this year!
