Hi All!
I am fairly new to this board but have just jumped right in. You all seem like a great group of people, im so happy to have found a Christian board! Anyway I was wondering how many of you do family devotions, and if so, what books do you use? And when do you have them?

My husband isnt saved yet so he isn't involved but every evening before bed my girls and I read a story together (We are working on this book right now - 365 Devotions) and then we close in prayer. It really is a wonderful time we have together!

dh and i do devotions together, but we've not yet started with Joshie. he's 17 months old, full of energy, and trying to get him to sit for any amount of time is hard right now. i think as he gets a little older over the summer we will start to do a very short time with him before bed.

Same as Krista, Skylar just turned 18 months so we'll start more complex books as she's older. For now we're just reading age appropriate books, Noah's Ark, and books with short prayers during her nightly bedtime book reading that we do. The funny thing though when we bow our head to pray or say the blessing she always wants to throw her hands up and shout Amen at the end. We don't know where she got that as we go to a conservative church and we simply say Amen ourselves. But its so cute!

None of my family are saved (yet) so we dont, altho they are all 17+ years old anyway.

I cant remember if you have been welcomed to the site already Laura so welcome, glad to see you are posting freely, its your site as much as anyone else's.

God bless,

Each morning I have prayer, a time of praise/worship and a bible story with the kids. Dh is usually at work except for weekends. I'm using a book of bible stories (5 Minute Bible Stories) that take us through the entire bible. I focus on one story per week (which is read daily) ask questions and we discuss truth and principles. I spend this time talking to them about the Lord and encouraging/teaching them to pray as well. Even the baby wants to participate and actually gets very excited when it's time to sing or look through the book. He knows the routine now. They also have one memory verse per week which they learn and apply. Every night William and I pray and sing with them before they go to bed too.
