Squeazing some spiritual time into our day. BREAKFAST SCRIPTURES

I've been struggling with making the effort and finding the time to make sure my kids get some spiritual nourishment during their day. There are a lot of excuses that I could come up with but I think #1- It's not a priority and it should be on the very top of my list. So we're all in the kitchen this morning eating breakfast. The computer is in our kitchen right now, I was on it checking emails and GOOGLING how to sew patches on scout shirts. And then a voice in my head said, "Kim, this is the perfect time to read scriptures or do something with these kids so that they know its important." And then like in the movies I kind of got this thing going on:

So, I pushed all the bad thoughts and excuses out of my head and thought for a second. "I have this computer right here and I'm sure there is some kind of media that I could find to accomplish the overwhelming feat of keeping my kids focused on something spiritual for a few minutes." So I GOOGLED teaching children the scriptures and low and behold lots and lots of ideas. My favorite?

LDS Scripture Stories

You can read, listen or watch!

I choose to have them watch the stories and they are GREAT!!!! There's even music that's suspenseful at the right moments.

I can't even begin to tell you how excited I am!!! We're going to be doing the Book of Mormon first, then there's Doctrine and Covenants, and the Old and New Testament. When we get all done we're going to celebrate.

The kids were practically jumping out of their chairs with excitement, and I was one happy mama, because there were no tears and no frustration (from me). Ha!
