We belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of LatterDay Saints. Members of our faith are incouraged to hold family morning devotionals. It seemed very hard to us when we first attempted this family ritual. We started this when the children were very small. We start out each morning gathered in our living room with a song...we usually take a month to learn it by memory...then we recite a monthly scripture and end with prayer around our coffee table on our knees. It is truely MAGICAL!!!!!! Now the children are older and it is our favorite time of the day.....a little bit of peace to start the days with in a day of busyness!!!!! The kids love to flip through the binder and see over the years all of the songs we have memorized together and sciptures we have memorized...we have learned that "great things happen a little bit at a time"! The older kids choose our songs and scriptures now...no work for me!
