this is the first of many giveaways. most of you know that i am a joy hunter. i pray for my eyes to be opened to see His blessings all around me and i rejoice when i find them, in abundance, in my routine & ordinary. so i've decided to start throwing joy at others. or at least giving some fun stuff away in hopes that they might see it in their own lives. so without further delay i would like to introduce an amazing tool. the child training bible. i was going to take the liberty to rename ours, the family training bible, b/c i am certain us parents will use it just as much, if not more. however, i humbly remembered that we are all children of God, so it isn't necessary to rename it. wink. wink.
what is it? "The Child Training Bible is tool that allows parents and children (and anyone that loves the Word of God) to go directly to the pages of Scripture for instruction in 20 key areas with a complete section dedicated to the gospel." explore their site more to get a full idea of this tool's awesomeness. www.childtrainingbible.com
giveaway details.
included in the giveaway is:- the Child Training Bible Kit (available here for direct purchase) which consists of 1 Child Training Bible Key, 3 double sided scripture tabbing charts and a set of instructions.
- the additional supplies needed to make the Child Training Bible, colored post it flags, and colored sharpie highlighters.
-note: bible is NOT included because each family's preference may vary. you will need to have a 9x6 hard bound bible to complete yours.
-i will cover shipping for those of you that are not local.

Today I was able to take my kids to Sunday school (I am attending later with my husband) and I was JOYFULLY given time to read my you can change book and plan out our week so my family doesn't get crazy cranky momma with no plan.
ReplyDeleteI am following your blog em, and walking with ya friend!
ReplyDeletethanks.
DeleteFAVORITE verse?! Is this is trick question?! There are SO MANY FAVORITES!
ReplyDeleteONE of my favorites (out of many many many) is this: Philippians 3:12 Not that I have already obtained this or am already perfect, but I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. (ESV)
joy today = seeing a napping hubby on the couch with 2 napping boys and 1 resting boy (FULL couch!)
ReplyDeleteJesus gave me a good man to be a helper to...one who loves our little children so much.
I'm having trouble figuring out how to "officially" follow your blog. But you know I stalk you like a crazy person. Seriously, though...where I am missing the subscribe/follow thing? I do my best to "follow" on my own : )
ReplyDeleteso sorry it wasn't easy to find the 'follow' option. i moved the 'who is following' and the 'follow by email' option is just below the 'about me' section on the far right. :D
DeleteGot it! Now it's official! Thanks : )
Deleteproverbs 27:6
ReplyDeleteFaithful are the wounds of a friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.
Not necessarily my 'favorite' but this is what I have been studying and it popped into my head. Thankful that YOU are a faithful friend.
Philippians 4:8: Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. (ESV)
ReplyDeleteJoy Encounter: Laughing with Steve at a comment by Colin after asking him how his room gets to be such a mess, he said, "It all magically comes out!" At that we tickled him! Funny little moments!
ReplyDeleteHi Emily! I'm not following you! :) Thank you for doing this giveaway! I just heard about this as well and was going to purchase it, soon! So fun! Hope you're doing well. Blessings, Michelle
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle! so glad you are joining in the fun.
DeleteThis verse has been especially meaningful to me this year!
ReplyDelete"But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me." 2 cor 12:9
it really is THAT simple. His grace is sufficient. I'm adding this to my daily reading... in hopes that i will stop trying to add to His grace. thank you for sharing Melly.
DeleteI found joy (and laughter) today when I was drudgingly cutting my hubby's hair and my 2 year old came out and said "daddy you look handsome" in his sweet little voice. such a thoughtful little boy.
ReplyDeleteI am now a happy follower!

ReplyDeleteOkay, signed up to follow your blog, but privately. And not just for the contests. ;-) I love blogging friends!
ReplyDeleteJoy: Having the energy to not only take 6 children to the park, but being able to chase them around the splash pad, twirl them on the merry-go-round, push them on the swings and be involved with conversations about life, death, friends, school and legos. So. Very. Blessed.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.
ReplyDeleteEphesians 5:19-20
Looking forward to following your blog. Lots of love and luck to you my friend! ~Jo
You call yourself a JOY HUNTER, but to be more accurate you are a JOY GIVER, or more aptly a JOY THROWER! Thank you for throwing so much joy at me--I mean to me--every day. :)
ReplyDeleteI wanted to say THANK YOU to all of you who played along. Your scriptures and JOY findings blessed me and I'm certain others who stopped by my blog were blessed by your comments as well. please stay tuned for more [throwing J O Y] fun!
