Grace For the Moment: 365 Devotions for Kids by Max Lucado

I recently received the upcoming kids devotional from Max Lucado for free to review.

So what happens when you take Max's simple story telling, combine his knowledge with scripture and put it in 365 readings for kids?
You get a wonderful devotional for all kids!


Here is what the publisher had to say:

Give Your Child the Gift of God’s Grace—Every Day. 
Grace is: God’s best idea . . . More than we deserve … And greater than we imagine.  But how can you plant this important message of grace into the heart of your child? 
Adapted from the bestselling devotional for adults (with more than 3 million copies sold), Grace for the Moment: 365 Devotions for Kids presents the message of God’s grace in a way that children can understand. It’s perfect for families to read together or for older readers to enjoy alone. Each day offers a devotion and scripture to encourage regular time with God. And because giving grace is just as important as receiving it, a “Growing in Grace” opportunity accompanies each devotion, offering practical and easy-to-do activities to help kids apply God’s grace—every day and every moment.

This is one that I will have to pick up in the hardcover form once it releases on September 11th of 2012.
Two additional comments:
First: This is a 365 devotional but they do not have days such as Monday July 7th etc.. so it can be used for any year
Second: this isn't filled with pictures for younger ages.  

I would recommend it for 2nd grade and up to 5th.

Ode for a Christmas Tree

When first we wed, and decorated the tree,
Stylish and colorful is what we wanted to be.
Blue and silver it was for years,
With glass bulbs hanging on all levels of the tree.

Ten years have come and gone so fast
Thank God the tree we bought did last!!
We slowly move the glass bulbs higher..
Making room for Mickey, Montana, and Scooby.

Yet as I sit and look tonight
The style is gone, the colors are faded..
The glass is gone or up at the highest.
Filled with homemade, and kid stuff the tree is weighted.

But for the stylish I do not yearn
For the childish theme, and lopsided tree
Is what I always will want to see
Each and every Christmas holiday.
