A Review Of 365 Days of Celebration and Praise

We all need an easy, stress-free way to add some fun to our homeschool day. We sometimes start with these Daily Devotions and Activities written by a homeschooler for homeschooling families. Or maybe we read it together at lunch time. Other times children pull it out on their own.

We celebrate birthdays, holidays. Why not every day?

A Look Inside 365 Days of Celebration and Praise

Included for each day:

  1. Questions to discuss
  2. Related activity – a craft, recipe or other simple, hands-on project
  3. Curriculum Connection – suggested activity related to a school subject (e.g., for National Backyard Games Week – “What interjections did you use when you played your game outside? What is an interjection? Can you think of more interjections?”)
  4. Verse to memorize
  5. Prayer suggestion

Did you know March 1 is National Pig Day? Read Luke 15: 11-32 and discuss why you think the younger son took all he had and left… Who forgave the young man? Then make a pig bookmark if you like. All the instructions are included. Next, see how many baby animal names you know. Memorize Colossians 3:13 Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. Pray, asking God to help you forgive. Thank God for his forgiveness of sins.

National Fragrance Week? Clergy Appreciation Day? National Dessert Month? Basketball Season? Holy Humor Month? Golden Rule Week? Epiphany? Drinking Straw Day?

So take a bit of advice from December 30, Make-Up-Your-Mind Day, check out Julie Lavender’s resource. It’s available at Amazon. Learn, discuss, memorize and pray together as a family this year.

May God bless you as you make each day a holiday! ~ Julie Lavender

    I wish I’d seen this earlier, but I definitely think it’s not too late. Just like the flexibility in homeschooling, this book looks like it can be started at any time during the year.

    It is great Angie! Kathy – definitely not too late. Jump in any time! We had baked potatoes this week and I was pleasantly surprised to see that February is National Potato month! 365 Days is just the extra we need now and then. And the go-to for the background on holidays.
