One of the Quickest Ways to get God’s Word in Little Hearts

So, the last few days, we’ve been passing around this pestering fever, this aching sickness that’s crept its way into just about all of us.

And I wasn’t sure amidst all of the pillows and blankets and beds made everywhere if we’d do much more than whisper about the verses while frail bodies lay sprawled out in every direction.

Turns out that feathers are a cheap remedy (at least for a few minutes), and I got to see each one of our little sickly people smile at least once as they climbed up on a bench and threw feathers into the air while saying life-breathing Words of God.

(Apparently we have quite the number of sick animals too.)

This might just be the quickest way to get God’s Words spilling out of little lips and prayerfully floating right into little hearts.

It’s a simple game with a bit of competition that I got from our homeschool curriculum (except they used a tissue or a napkin if I remember correctly – so no worries if you don’t have feathers).

Simply throw the feather(s) into the air, and try to say the whole verse before the feather touches the ground. If you don’t get through the whole verse, that’s okay, just pick the feather back up and throw it again starting right where you left off.

(And it’s totally fine to get creative and throw more than one feather, or work together and make it some sort of relay, or to have a sibling blow the feather back up before it reaches the floor… any way to get His Words preciously dropped into the minds and hearts of our kids!)

And I stop to etch out more good one by one… #172 smiles from feathers floating, #173 kids all sweaty and hair tangled getting up to say God’s Word, #174 two more verses memorized
