Have you ever wondered where the idea of communion came from? It’s something we can take for granted especially if we experience it as a regular part of our church life. However, the roots of communion go back thousands of years to the first Easter, the week Jesus died, the week we sometimes call Holy … Read more
I recently discovered I have curly hair. Having brushed and blow dried my hair for 30+ years, I knew that if I left it wet it went frizzy. But after a drastic cut from mid-back length to a short bob, out popped curls! If you’re feeling overwhelmed by the amount of stuff you’ve been told you could/should do to help your family grow in faith, why not take my Curly Hair approach:
It’s December, the last month in what has been a pretty dreadful year in many ways. How do we celebrate Christmas? In order to work out our answer to that question, I’ve got three questions (I’ve put each in three different ways – make your choice!): What is your family like? / What do you … Read more
#Thanktober is a simple idea: Let’s be thankful for something every day and grow our ‘thanks muscles’. I started it a few years ago, and each year I share a thanks prompt each day on Facebook and Instagram, so do pop over and say hi, like a few and comment on a few posts to … Read more
Although some have already gone back to school, for many this week is a new week in a new class or new school. After the long summer holidays, you might be looking at this change with trepidation, especially if you or someone in your family find transitions hard work. I have one of these in … Read more
Dip some juicy apples in honey to celebrate New Year! Yep, in the Bible (as with northern hemisphere school), New Year is in Autumn. There’s actually three Bible festivals in Autumn, and Rosh Hashanah (Hebrew for Head of the Year) is the first. In our home, we don’t do massive things for these, but I … Read more
Did you know that being specifically thankful is scientifically proven to increase your joy? Yes! Amazing huh? That’s why I make resources like the Summer Thanks journal. It’s got 31 thanks prompts to help you increase your thankfulness, and therefore your joy! Thankfulness has loads of other benefits too. Here’s some: 1 Improved mental health: … Read more
In the summer, lots of families have more flexible time which you could use to do a treasure hunt style Bible exploration. Create a simple treasure hunt by choosing a series of locations, depending on the age of your children and the time you have available, and hide a section of the story you want … Read more
… is good for your faith! We’re currently in our second year of doing #1000hoursoutside. Whenever I tell people we’re doing it, they either say, Oh yes, we probably do about that each year. I then ask them really? It’s just over 3 hours a day EVERY DAY, including the days it’s super cold, windy … Read more
We’re currently in our second year of doing #1000hoursoutside. For me, the most important thing is not HOW we’re achieving that (more on that next time) but WHY. We’re intentionally spending loads of time outside because it’s good for us, (again, more on that next time) and it gives us a way to regularly worship … Read more
I once opened a workshop on prayer with the Bible quote: “Pray without ceasing.” I’ve always found this a very challenging command, after all, most of us usually manage a few minutes a day – how do we pray but also do all the other things we need to do each day? I used to … Read more
Here’s a simple version of an ancient practise: Use a breathing prayer to ‘chew over’ a Bible verse. This is less of an understanding exercise and more of a feeling, meditative one. If you’ve found a verse that jumps out at you or is particularly meaningful to you at the moment, this might be something … Read more
