Dear Parents!
As a way to encourage your youth to spend daily time in God's Word, the DEVOZINE is a monthly periodical that is handed out. Each week focuses on a particular topic. This week...
A HEALTHY IMAGINATION!
[January 18-24 +imagination]
A healthy imagination sparks excitement, a zest for life, and a way to see beyond what is, to what can be. Remember your child as a tot and how they could turn an ordinary box into a castle, a cage for pets, a car, a Barbie house? God can take that imagination and plant dreams and desires into their hearts as they continue to mature!
Take a moment with your child to reminisce (go on a short drive, have a cup of coffee/soda, or sit down with them over the evening meal). Look at pictures, retell stories of how they played pretend as a child, or have them share their favorite childhood memories.
Ask them...
"If you could change one thing in the world or in your own personal world, what would it be and why?"
"What is one of your dreams for the future?"
Encourage them...
To imagine, hope and dream! Remind them that just because they are growing up, doesn't mean they have to lose their imagination, dreams or aspirations! During their devotion time over the next week, allow these questions to help your teen learn from the past and dream for the future. Share your own dreams or aspirations and how they shaped you and your walk with God.
Challenge them...
"How can you use your imagination to show others that God is always with them?"
