Family devotions at breakfast

C

11h ago1 min read

Started doing 5 minute devotions every morning before school with the family and it's honestly changed our mornings. We read a verse, talk about it for a minute, pray together. My oldest was resistant at first but now he's the one asking if we're doing devotions. Nothing crazy, just real conversations about what the verses mean in our actual lives. If anyone's been thinking about starting something like this I'd say go for it.

We started doing something similar a few months back and it's wild how much it sets the tone for the day. Are you finding that the kids are actually engaged or is it still a bit of a pull to get everyone to sit down? My oldest was resistant at first but now he actually asks questions about the stuff we read.

Five minutes is perfect - long enough to matter but short enough that nobody loses their minds. What kind of devotional are you using? I've been looking for something that works for different age groups.

This is really cool to hear. With four kids on different schedules it's tough for us to get everyone together, but breakfast might actually be doable. How are you handling different ages understanding the same devotion?
