Liturgies for parents with Kayla Craig

Happy Thanksgiving! 🦃🦃🦃   I hope you are surrounded by friends and family today with the smell of familiar food floating through the house. There’s so much to be thankful for this year, but I’m especially thankful to be walking this parenting road together with each of you. It’s a true gift.   Today we have Kayla Craig with us and we’re discussing liturgies and how they add a richness to our prayer life. So often we overcomplicate prayer or even find ourselves at a loss for words—praying liturgies is a wonderful way to bridge the gap.    I’ll leave you with a list I wrote a few years ago of the top 10 ways to determine if your Thanksgiving was an epic fail.  1.) When sharing what they are thankful for, your first guest responds, “Thanksgiving rotates to a new house next year.”   2.) Your mother-in-law questions why your “homemade” pumpkin pie has a Costco imprint across the top.   3.) Despite dieting all year, you’re still asked to play linebacker in the annual family football game.   4.) When the conversation gets slow around the table, you nervously share your annual income and who you voted for in the last election.   5.) Several relatives tentatively decline your Christmas invitation pending ancestry results.   6.) When guests ask how they can help after the meal, your husband accidentally responds, “Why start now?”   7.) Grandpa grabs the Gas-X before agreeing to a game of Twister with the kids.   8.) After replacing the batteries on the meat thermometer, you decide “done” is a relative term.   9.) You receive multiple copies of the book Parenting with Love and Logic as hostess gifts.   10.) The Turkey Trot isn’t a family 5K but rather a reminder of how fast people exited your house after the meal ended. All kidding aside, I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving.   Resources from today's show:  To Light Their Way Jones & Parker Case Files The Songs Tell the Story Our Sponsors: * Check out IXL and use my code TODAY for a great deal: https://www.ixl.com Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
