Make family scripture time productive. Get the kids excited. If kids can see how the Book of Mormon applies to them and if reading the Book is FUN, you might hear, "Is it time to read yet?", rather than, "Do we have to?" We are counseled to SEARCH the scriptures, not just read them. It takes preparation to do that with children. This is the preparation that I've done. Now I have it for reference next time. And you do too. Comments welcome.
Discussion: Who are the Gentiles?
Search: Find the 4 things that the Gentiles need to do for the Lord to manifest to them the things the Brother of Jared saw (specifically see v6-7).

ReplyDeleteThis is an amazing blogg! It looks like you have put a lot of work into it. I'm sure you children will be very grateful for what you are doing.
When I read the last posting a couple of days ago, I went and tried to find the four things a gentile must do, but I had a hard time finding what they are. I do know that gentiles are any people who are living without the gospel in their lives.
Keep up the great work, you're doing great!
Thank you very much for the comment. Appropriate comments are definitely welcome. I'll take a look at the "Ether 4:1-7 Writings of The Brother of Jared" post again.
ReplyDeleteThe kids definitely get more out of this than just reading as a family. And it only takes a few minutes longer than just reading. The challenge for me is making family scripture time every day.
