I so appreciate this ministry. I also thought of "Childtime" in light of how quickly time passes. They are babies, then, suddenly they are graduating from high school! What seems like an age that they will take 'forever" to outgrow, in retrospect is only a small portion of our lives with them. I think of Childtime as a season of our lives that is pregnant with opportunities to make lasting and life-altering impressions in everyday moments--just like other seasons of our lives. Childtime brings a renewing and refreshing outlook, realigns our priorities and calls us to greater faith in a is soverign God. I was delighted to see the first Advent devotion in my email box!

Child-time for me has always brought me back down to earth and gives me pause to quietly smile at what is so simple. Your Devotion today brought that same quiet smile to my otherwise hectic Monday morning at work. Thank you for continuing with the Advent Devotions.

The lists, the schedules, the saying that I don't have time makes me pause and say where do I need to think in child-time today...so I might be a better neighbor.
