Proverbs 22:6
"Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it."
As a mom of 4 little ones, ages 6, 4, 2 and 10 months old, I am constantly trying to find ways to get the kids excited about reading the scriptures! And it is no easy task! With all of them just bursting with energy it can sometimes feel like my effort is being ignored as they tumble and do cartwheels across the room as I try to get their attention.
But it is so important, especially in the world that we live in, for them to learn the scripture stories and to love them. They are God's divine map to keep us on the straight and narrow path that will lead us to Christ and help us return to Our Father in Heaven one day. My hope is that through the scriptures they will choose to follow Him. It's just getting them to scriptures that has been the challenge. And while I am not the most seasoned mother, I wanted to share what has worked for us in the hopes that maybe it will work for you too!
I would absolutely LOVE to hear what has worked for your family! So, please feel free to comment, share your thoughts, your successes, and even your failures if you need a place to vent.
Remember, you are not just raising a child, you are raising a child of God; they are still His and He will help you because you are His child too!
