Decide on a time for your daily family scripture study. We chose 6:30 a.m. Someone reliable is in charge of getting up before everyone else and going to the computer and turning on a hymn or primary song (Turn it up loud!). It's on the church music website, under Interactive music player. It will play any hymn or primary song, with or without parts, with or without singing.

Then all the children come running happily to sing a song and gather for scriptures. LOL... OK, that's the idea, but ours do actually come out, maybe half awake, but they come. I think the music is a nice way to wake up in the morning and it sets the mood. Sometimes we sing along, sometimes we just listen. Then we read for about 20 minutes and it really sets the mood for the rest of the day. (plus, zero mommy guilt, because the scripture reading for the day is accomplished!)

I just found your blog! I hope you post more! I have three small children and I have been searching for a way to bring scripture study into our home. Thank you for the wonderful idea!
