How do you do It?

My friend Tasha over at He’s everything to Me posed some questions that I thought I would answer on my blog, and also pass on to you…

How do you do it:

1. How does your family decide what will be read and studied for family devotions?

My beloved decides what we do for family devotions.
2. How do you decide what you yourself will read and study during your own individual quiet time?

It depends, but I try to read what we are doing for devotions, then I will do a study or just read. Or I do a reading plan.


3. Do you require your children to have their own personal quiet time with the Lord?

Yes the children are required to spend time in the Word on their own. Papa had them start in Mathew and work their way from there.


4. What does quiet time look like for you, what "tools" do you need?

My bible and my knees…


5. What does family devotions look like for your family? Do family members take turns reading passages? Are you memorizing scriptures together?

Devotions looks different each night.. some nights we take turns reading, some night papa reads, some nights we sing first, other nights, we just pray and read, some nights we review memory verses, other nights we don’t. So we are not systematic at all.


What about you… Loved to hear from you

Assignment - This week I would like you to post any prayer requests you have. What is going on in your life that you need prayer warriors for? When this assignment came through I was going to share  prayer request for a much needed rental home, and new job for my beloved, but in a blink of an eye those things were no longer a concern. A truly serious, and sobering matter occurred. I was not sure how to share with all of you this matter- and how desperate I was. I was not sure how to even lift my eyes towards heaven for fear that he would not hear me, or not even want what I was wanting.  I was not sure I could handle a loss of my child. My baby- my eldest- He is 18 years old, 6 days ago he started to develop these sharp pains that would shoot to the back of his eyes. At first he described them as a headache, but he realized it was not headache, and started to complain more of the pain, and stated that pain relievers were not working. I made a doctors appointment. When the do...

Traditions…

At this time of the year everyone is filled with traditions. Things they do every year  to prepare their hearts to celebrate the greatest, and truest meaning of this season- celebrating the Birth of our Savior. We are no exception.. we started this tradition last year. Our hearts were to focus ourselves completely on what we are celebrating and why we are celebrating it so every evening, we light these candles…   gather around the table to read the scripture for the night, we sing the corresponding carol/hymn, then daddy reads a story. The story normally goes with which every figure we must pull and set up for our nativity scene. So far this is what we have out: The Donkey was first- because he carried Mary to Bethlehem, then the cow- was probably in the stable, the sheep were probably brought by the Shepherds who came to see the Savior, and then the Shepherd. This scene is such a humbling scene, one that reminds us that our Lord did not arrive in a mansion, or place b...
