For Reflection
I have to confess, I did not spend a year reading Speaking Mom-ese. I found it on one of my book shelves when I was purging books from my library a few weeks ago. I had started reading it in 2011, when my kids were both in elementary school, got about halfway through, and then I guess I put it aside. As I glanced through the book, I saw that I had written prayers in it about the kids and I did not want to sell it. So, I decided to start from the beginning, re-read the parts I had already completed, update if needed, and finish the other half of the book. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the book was still relevant to me even with one child in college and the other beginning next fall. Obviously, on this read-through, I read more than one devotional a week. I am guessing that the one time a week reading is why it fell by the wayside to begin with.
What sort of devotional book do you prefer? Daily or Weekly?
