Gather Your Family Around God's Word

...commit yourselves wholeheartedly to these words of mine...
Teach them to your children. Talk about them when you are at
home and when you are on the road, when you are going to bed
and when you are getting up.
Deuteronomy 11:18–19, NLT


The best way to help your family consistently connect with the Bible…is to invest time in it with them. That's why today, for the second day of Family Bible Week, we're presenting this special blend of Bible Plans for your whole family.

And if you'll let us know which plan you're doing together, your family could be one of many randomly selected to win a prize pack* picnic basket. Each basket has everything your family needs for a fun afternoon together: a custom YouVersion picnic blanket, tumblers, treats, and other picnic essentials! Just tell us which plan you're doing on your Twitter or Instagram, or at Facebook.com/YouVersion, using #FamilyBiblePlan.


 

*Prize packs will be selected at random from eligible entries. For your entry to be eligible, you must use the hashtag #FamilyBiblePlan on a publicly-facing post or at Facebook.com/YouVersion, and you must include the name and/or link to the Plan your family is doing together. Prize pack contents subject to change based on availability of individual items. We can only ship prize packs within the continental U.S.

Happy Mother's Day!

Thanking God for Great Moms Everywhere


For every special Mom in your life, today we encourage you to honor each one by seeking out just the right Scripture that describes how she inspires you. Maybe it's your own mom. Maybe it's a friend, a confidante who always seems to have great life advice right when you need it. Or maybe you've noticed a neighbor who takes great care of her kids.

Whether it's with a call, a text, or even posting a Verse Image to her Facebook page, take a moment to let the moms in your life know how special they are. For this first day of Family Bible Week, we've pulled together just a few of our favorite inspirational passages to help get you started:


Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
1 Corinthians 13:4–7 (NIV)

An excellent wife who can find? She is far more precious than jewels.
Proverbs 31:10 (ESV)

…we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.
Romans 8:28 (NLT)
