I think most everyone would feel that way at first because it goes against our nature to lay down all pretense and honestly worship God in front of others, especially our kids! Our family worship is VERY sporadic, but like you said, we are trying! In the morning we read a chapter of "something", a devotional or right now that Genesis commentary I posted about. I would like to get to the point to where we just read the Word, but right now I would lose them with that. We do a hymn from Hymns for a Kids heart, or sometimes they just pick any song they want, but we do the same one all week, and then we pray just short prayer. Then at night we have read-aloud (for fun)books (Reading The Silver Chair now) and then a short section of something "spiritual"-ish (right now reading Heaven, for Kids by Randy Alcorn.) And pray longer than in the morning, taking turns for whatever is on everyone's heart / mind. There are so many days when I skip it at night because I am so tired. Or I skip it in the morning because we are running late and have "other stuff to do" Thanks for the encouragement to be more faithful in it, it matters, and it makes such a difference!!Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05468038003826042154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8078504712847750568.post-46650738446915438272011-04-02T10:55:23.735-04:002011-04-02T10:55:23.735-04:00this is such an encouraging post friend...and...i ...this is such an encouraging post friend...and...i like what you said about addressing the issue before they are actually beind disciplined for it! that is helpful..thanks for spurring me on!<br /><br />LB, if you read this..a worship song that my kids LOVE which is kind of silly in a way is Praise Ye the Lord, Hallelujah!

We read J...I totally get the feeling silly thing!! We read Jesus story book Bible every night and then Scott and I pray. Ada never wants to pray and so far we have opted not to make her. We don't sing mainly because of feeling weird. You have encouraged me to do it anyway:)LBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06643896920237472344noreply@blogger.com
