ENUMCLAW, Washington, September 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- In the late 1990s through April 2000 Bill Cosby hosted the television show "Kids Say the Darndest Things", based on Art Linkletter's classic comedy show segment. Each episode celebrated just how funny, revealing and embarrassingly truthful children can be. It also stood as a sobering reminder that if you don't want something repeated don't say or do it in front of your three-year-old.

Yes, children have a wonderful way of making us laugh, usually when they aren't trying to be funny. At the same time they have a unique knack for unintentionally cheering us up, teaching and inspiring us. Cherise L. Bopape shares such moments from her own parenting journey in "Lessons from the Littlest: A Devotional for Mothers of Young Children". Through the 31 readings contained in the book Bopape entices mothers to become aware of the godly lessons that they can glean from everyday interactions with their young children. The book is filled with true-life stories from her own experiences raising three small children, sharing how her children so often prompted her to stop, reflect on God's goodness, or see life a bit differently. Each devotional ends with a challenge for either personal reflection or service. "I tend to make things complicated," Cherise Bopape says. "By mimicking the innocence and faith of a child we please God. Through spilled milk, poop-filled diapers, and a slew of Little League games or cheerleading practices we can still praise God, be thankful, and give service with a smile. I had to learn this the hard way." Many busy moms can say the same. But with the book written just for them, they can find something to take into their day while learning to see their little ones in a whole new light.
