Lily and I are doing devotions together out of her One Minute Daily Devotional for Girls Book. Here are the two verses from each. would put the whole devotional but its copy righted. You are welcome to buy the book and do a daily devotion with us. We will be doing it around 9:30 or 10:00 every night. There is a theme from the book for each month...April is OBEY, OBEY and OBEY! :)
Listen (April 25)- Deuteronomy 30:20
Constant Praise (April 30) - Deuteronomy 32:3-4
Listen covered the fact that we should slow down and listen to God. He is speaking to us throughout the day i helping guide us into the direction he has for us. Stop and listen...He wants to communicate! (PRAYER from the book: Dear God, please help me with this (listening). I want to learn to be still. I want to listen to You. Amen)
Constant Praise covered taking the focus off yourself and your problems and praise Him for even the little things. In our case, Squeaker is so tiny. There are two other babies smaller than her. I can't even imagine anything smaller. Remember that God takes care of us always! )PRAYER from the book: Dear God, thank You for my family, my friends, for horses and puppies. Thank You for mountains and oceans. Thank You for the sunrises and sunsets, for rainbows and thunderclouds. Just...thank You. Amen)

Five Finger Prayer
This is so neat. I had never heard this before.
This is beautiful - and it is surely worth making the 5 finger prayer a part of our lives.
1. Your thumb is nearest you.
So begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a 'sweet duty.'
2. The next finger is the pointing finger. Pray for those who teach, instruct and heal. This includes teachers, doctors, and ministers. They need support and wisdom in pointing others in the right direction. Keep them in your prayers.
3. The next finger is the tallest finger. It reminds us of our leaders. Pray for the president no matter how you voted, leaders in business and ! industry, and administrators. These people shape our nation and guide public opinion. They need God's guidance.
4. The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surprising to many is the fact that this is our weakest finger, as any piano teacher will testify. It should remind us to pray for those who are weak, in trouble or in pain. They need your prayers day and night. You cannot pray too much for them.
5. And lastly comes our little finger - the smallest finger of all which is where we should place ourselves in relation to God and others. .As the Bible says, 'The least shall be the greatest among you.' Your pinkie should remind you to pray for yourself. By the time you have prayed for the other four groups, your own needs will be put into proper perspective and you will be able to pray for yourself more effectively.
If you decide to send this to a friend, you might brighten some one's day! Pass this on to someone special... I did.
Don't tell God how big your storm is, Tell the storm how big your God is!!! It only takes a single thought to move the world; let that be love!

And God Bless
"I AM Too blessed to be stressed!" The shortest distance between a problem and a solution is the distance between your knees and the floor. The one who kneels to the Lord can stand up to anything. Love and peace be with you forever, Amen.
PS: GOD LOVES YOU.....PASS THE WORD ON TO MORE FRIENDS AND ASK THEM TO CONTINUE TELLING OTHERS THAT GOD LOVES THEM TOO. JUST THINK OF HOW MANY PEOPLE THAT COULD BE REACHED OUT TO AND BLESSED WITH
Devotion:
No one knows the weight of another's burdens.
Each heart knows its own bitterness, and no one else can share its joy. Prov 14:10 NIV

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see the shadow. Helen Keller
There is no shadow, Lord, if I place myself directly in the sunshine of Your presence. Thank You. Amen.

Hope---
that bubbling ingredient in life which is like carbonation in a drink; giving it zest, keeping it in motion, always pushing it up... DePree
