My Review:
As much as I hate to admit it, my daughter is getting to be a young lady.  The child she was is slowly leaving and she is becoming more interested in grown-up matters.  I am grateful that she is still quite naive but I know, with our current culture, she won't stay that way much longer.  I'd like to be able to guide her through all the confusion of becoming a young adult, but I know I can use all the help I can get too!!  Having a devotional like "Adored" for her to read each day and stay grounded in God's word and advise is going to be a great help!

I plan to give my daughter "Adored: 365 Devotions for Young Women" for Christmas this year.  We've done devotions together each night since she and her brother were toddlers.  As she becomes more independent, she has liked the idea of having her own devotional and she is more than ready.  (Of course, we'll be doing devotions as a family still too!)

I've read through several of the devotions in "Adored" and I couldn't be happier giving this to my daughter as a gift!  It's full of wonderful reminders of God's plans for her and the way she should be living...it's been great for me too!  (Maybe we'll read it together!?  I'm still a young woman, right? ;-)  )

I highly recommend this devotional to anyone with young ladies in their lives!  It truly is a great one!

Family Devotion Time

Each night, the kids and I (and sometimes Rich when he has the chance) do a preschool devotion after bedtime stories. It has been wonderful for the kids. The devotion is short, so it keeps the kiddos attention and asks a simple question or two to engage them in what is being taught. It also has a bible verse and a prayer to go along with what we're learning....and when I say 'we', I mean me too! Even though the devotions are meant for little ones, I always feel like I go away with reminders of God's love and what it means to be a Christian. I love the devotion time that we have each night and it's made me think seriously of doing a devotion either on my own or as a couple with Rich in the near future! For now, I'm happy with that special time with the kiddos learning more about God. Plus I love that we're starting the routine now, so hopefully it will be something that the kids will continue even after they've grown up and left home :-)

Here is a video of the kiddos doing one of the prayers in their devotional that I recorded back in the Spring because I wanted to remember their cute little voices praying :-)
