I am a missionary working in Senegal and have found with our 6 and 5 year old that the simple devotion like you have described is very effective in our family. The kids do “soak” it up readily and are far better than I at learning the Scriptures. I have found this also and effective way to share the story of Jesus with people that I am in contact with often. A short verse to talk about or a short story from the Bible. It’s amazing how many people want to hear these stories and learn what God has to say, especially when we repeat a story that we really know becasue we’ve read it a million times and repeat the story with excitement and passion. This is a great word for us all.

Thank you so much for those inspiring words and keep up the good work. I miss spending time with our little girls and watching them grow in the word. My oldest daughter has two children of her own now and the youngest has a son on the way…I will be passing this article on to them. My grandchildren are little sponges as well. God loves the little children!

Thank you for being obedient to the Holy Spirit on this subject. It’s so easy to get “lazy” as parents especially when our schedules are so busy, yet all of that will soon pass away and even become a fading memory, if remembered at all. However, the Word of God will stand forever. It is so awesome to see the Word of God be revealed as you and your wife have set aside to truly “TRAIN up a child in the way they should go”…not just teach, but TRAIN…in other words, you have lived by example to show your children the way they should go, “and when they are old they will not depart from the way they are to go”…that is a promise from the Word of God! God’s promises are YES and it is our job to say AMEN! Thank you for sharing this, and my husband and I will do what you have encouraged us to do. Thank you Lord for Your Spirit that leads us in the way we are to go. God bless you all and know that HIS glory is your rear guard!

Inspiring and affirming! My husband and I have had morning and evening devotions with our 4 children - and with three now on their own and continuing to enjoy close fellowship with our Lord I am thankful for our Lord’s faithfullness in His promises - His word does not return void! May His word reach deep in our hearts!

I am so blessed to read what you and your family achieve and visiting your great aunt and all. I sometimes have bible study with my family. My children are older, youngest turning 12 this year, the other two 20 and 18. I find the youngest soaks the word and is more ready to get on with it. My wife however on the other hand is more critical, restrictive and selective on how deep the studies should be. Thank you for opening this up for me. I sometimes think or feel like I am not on the right track. Now I don’t have to worry anymore. I think from now on we will just read, study, and absorb as much as our capabilities without feeling any pressure at all.
