Hi Amanda! Thank you so much!

Over the years we have consistently read the Bible to the family at breakfast (when we have Morning Time) and dinner. I usually read a chapter from the Children’s Story Bible in the morning and then my husband will read straight from the Bible after dinner. We don’t sermonize or ask many questions, just read and let the word itself sink in and take root.

For personal Bible reading, I don’t necessarily read at the same time every day. With babies, pregnancies, and the unpredictable nature of having lots of children, I can’t always depend on doing things at the same time each day. Instead, I have made this question my motto. “What is the first thing I do when I get a moment of free time?” Thinking this way helps me to seek Him with the first part of my time. What we run to when we get a free moment is a good predictor of what we value! Currently, I am reading through the Bible in random sections copying my notes from an old Bible that is falling apart.

Not sure if you read the post I wrote a few weeks ago on helping kids develop a habit of reading the Bible, but it gives a little more description of our family Bible reading if you are interested.
