"Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old, he shall not depart from it." Proverbs 22: 6
I'm trying to teach my children to have a love of the scriptures. In the morning, at 6:45, we gather together for family scripture study. We read together the scriptures and explain what they mean and then we kneel together for family prayer, asking our kids, "Do we have any empty spaces?" and they respond, "No we are all here. "(Our family motto is No Empty Spaces!) Most times we are in a circle holding hands but sometime we've got some kids leaning over the couch or benches, but at least we are together! Afterwards, Jared leaves for work and then the kids take time to read the scriptures by themselves.
It just warms my heart to see them sitting there reading the scriptures.
