I have made a decision as to how I am going to attempt to read through the Bible this year. It is my plan to read through my Bible reading plan by reading it aloud to the little dude. I’ve never read the entire Bible aloud, so that is new to me and a fun thing to do. But more important to me, is that I am reading it aloud to my son. I hope that it is a practice that he gets used to and enjoys over the course of this year. I want to instill the value of spending time in God’s word in him while he is young. I don’t imagine he’ll be reading for a few more years, but even though I’m reading aloud to him, I hope this starts him on a lifelong practice of daily quiet time.

That said, the last two days have been really rough in the sleeping department. Both nights, the dude has been asleep before supper time, so I didn’t get to read to him. Tonight, Jenn read to him, so he just missed one day. And I’ve been keeping up reading aloud. Last night, I read to Jenn, tonight I read to no one in particular. Just thought you would want to know.

Those of you with children, or who have Christian parents, how do you help your kids establish personal Bible reading, or how did your parents encourage you?
