Our Dining Table

Having dinner at the table each night has always been a BIG thing for me.  I don't know what it is but I just think it is the best time to get everyone together.  I am not a big fan of tv to begin with so there is to be no tv at dinner time, occasionally we will have the radio on very low.  Since school started we have gone around the table asking what our favorite part of the day was and what else we enjoyed today.

I have been searching for more ways to have bible time with the kids and I have came across some great ideas! One thing we have been doing is morning devotions at breakfast before school (again we are at the table and no tv) I read it to them and then they get to ask questions.  Then I found a blog about a family that just really inspired me they do their devotions at night after dinner at the dining table!! Perfect for me because I am a fan of the dining table :) ahahahaha, so we have started doing a memory verse each week.  When we are getting close to being done my hubby or I will pull out the verse which I have written on card stock and even added a picture that might be helpful for them to memorize it.

I am really impressed with how well they are doing and this is only day 2!!! It not only helps them put the Word in their hearts but hubby and I also.

We also have found a really awesome idea (same blog that inspired me) for our dining table....she turned the top of the table into a chalkboard with chalkboard paint! So the kids get to doodle while going over their bible lessons and she writes their "question" of the night on their and they doodle a picture to go with their answers. I love this idea and we will hopefully be turning our dining table VERY soon ;)
