Bible Time & Family Worship

Each morning after breakfast the kids and I have "Bible Time". Usually we are reading through a Bible story book or some other children's book based on the Bible. We just started reading again through God's Wisdom for Little Boys and God's Wisdom for Little Girls. We love those books! They have been very helpful in training our children as we can point back to some of the character traits, like diligence, contentment, helping, etc., as we're going through the day. Other resources that I have used and will be looking to in the future can be found at Doorposts. They have wonderful products for training children.

At night, after supper, my husband leads us in Family Worship. Our time together consists of three aspects:

1. My husband reads a passage from the Bible. (We've been studying through 1 & 2 Samuel recently.) Then each person (well, at least the ones who can talk) asks him a question about the passage. Sometimes he asks us a question too.

2. We sing hymns and songs. I pick out the hymn of the month and any other songs we sing.

3. We pray. My husband generally asks each person to pray for a specific request.

One of our goals is to put a picture of what we're studying during Family Worship in our Family's Book of History to get an idea of chronology, but we have not done that yet. That's a goal for next year!
