What a perfect theme for today's devotion. I haven't been taking the time to blog for the last few days and today is about fighting for your time with God.
Today make bath time = God time if you, like me, are struggling to squeeze in the extra time for another activity. Put some bubbles in. Say a prayer over your child's bath time, asking God to cleanse them inside and out.
If you have time for a craft (my daughter will always make time), grab a bowl, drinking straw, paint, paper, dish soap and water. I've had more and less success with this activity depending on the type of paint. You might also try food coloring.
1. Mix soap, paint, and water in a bowl. Be generous with the paint and soap, but it needs water to thin it enough to blow bubbles in it.
2. Put the straw in the bowl and BLOW! Warning, it would taste disgusting to suck it in, but it happens, especially with young children :). Blow a heap of bubbles so high they are almost overflowing. Like your love for God and His love for you are overflowing onto everyone around you.
3. Press the paper onto the bubble heap, making a print of bubbles on the paper.
4. Optional: Put a photograph of yourself in the center of the bubbles after the paper dries. Or draw a picture of yourself with crayons or markers.

Jesus Calling June 21
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." - Revelation 1:8
Just to backtrack a day, yesterday's Jesus Calling was about time. It was appropriate for the summer solstice, the longest day of the year.
Today's project related to the science of time. We will look at the amount of daylight and remember that all time is God's time. From today, the longest day of the year, to the shortest day of the year for all eternity.
1) Cut a construction paper circle out of black paper and one identical circle out of yellow.
2) Find the center of the circles. There are many ways to do this. You could make an additional circle out of scratch paper, fold it in quarters, then cut one fold to the center of all three circles.
3) Fit the yellow and black circles together. Lookin up sunrise time and sunset time. Calculate the percentage of the day the was light and show it on your pie chart.
4) Look up winter solstace and show the day length on your pie chart. Thank God for watching over your days and nights and inviting you to spend eternity with Him and His son in heaven.
