A is for "Abba"

One of the main reasons I homeschool is to teach my children about our wonderful creator. I was praying because this week I will be studying the letter A and B with my Kindergartener. I had spent hours searching for the perfect bible curriculum online for my children and after exhausting all my resources and wasting way too much time, I prayed. Backwards, right?

Anyway God told me to teach my kids first to pray and seek Him and He will teach them all things. Brillant. So I spent more time online looking for curriculum until I realized God gave me everything I already need, His Word!! I really like the idea of a certain curriculum I saw that went through the Bible A-Z and taught serving and other great things but I had no rest that buying it would be right this moment with our budget.

So I sat down with my Bible and asked God to lead me to what I am to teach my kids for the letter A. Our God is so faithful. The Spirit led me to Galatians 4:6. The Bible version I use with my children is an NIrV and this is what it read,

Because you are his children, God sent the Spirit of his Son into our hearts. He is the Holy Spirit. By his power we call God "[Abba.]" Abba means Father

So this week I am going to starting a prayer journal with my children where they can color and write and we will be memorizing Galatians 4:6. I will keep you updated how all this really goes.
