(My husband is not as supportive as yours sounds like he is, so it feels like hard work to me.)

If you do more on teaching your kids about God, you should blog sometime about your creative prayers times. I cherish memories of being a part of tag prayer.

I'm here by the way of WFMW at Rocks in my Dryer. We also take seriously teaching our children of God and His Word. We do our nightly family devotion time just before bed. At 8:30 all family members meet on our (mom and dad's) big bed where I read the scripture of the day and Daddy reads the devotion. We answer some questions about that passage and devotion. We give prayer requests and then pray together. It's a wonderfully peaceful way to head to bed. And the Word of God is the last thing their brains were absorbing before sleep. I like to think that they'll dream God's word due to that. :) What a lovely blog! I’m here by the way of WFMW at Rocks in my Dryer.

Hubby gets up much earlier than we do, so it's just the 2 kids and myself for breakfast. We pray for the people on our Samaritan Ministries list and we also read "Keys for Kids. (We take turns praying so that they are learning to do this too; they love family prayer time, where we each pray for one thing, then on to the next person, around and around until we feel led to end.) We start our school day with prayer and Bible Class is always first (except when we are doing 'backwards' day!). I started teaching my kids to memorize scripture when they were 3. I usually write little jingles to help them - and in the end, it helps me too! I listen to scripture CDs throughout the day, and the other day I heard my son singing those songs; I didn't even know he was listening - what a blessing!!! I also write verses on card stock and hang them around the house. It's amazing what we've learned just by reading a verse as we pass by. Keep teaching them :-) I’m on the soap box with you!

Some of my 'bestest' memories are of my grandmother and her Bible stories....and upon learning to read, she gave me my very own Bible. Oh! Yes, I could vie with the older cousins then I tell ya! We were terrible seeing who could memorize the most...and get to sit next to Grandma at church....now that was special. Even now special verse will pop into my head. So blessed I am to have a heavenly Father to keep feeding me at just the right moment when I need him most. You are so very blessed to have a Godly husband and father to your sons. I commend you and he for taking the high road in teaching the Bible to and learning with your babies. This will mean more to them than you can ever know. “Tell me the stories of Jesus;
Write on my heart every word;
Tell me the stories most precious;
Sweetest than ever was heard…”
