Building Strong Families! (Part 1)

That night, I decided that I would “take the bull by the horns.” I discussed with my wife that, from this point forward, every Monday night should be our set family devotional night. She agreed.

The first Monday rolled around, and the opportunities to do something else appeared from every direction. But we said no to those things and yes to our family. We first had dinner together at our table. Then afterward, we moved into the living room. My son brought out the guitar and led us in two songs. The girls sang, and it sounded like angels in our house. After the worship time, we all took our Bibles, and I instructed my oldest daughter first, then my middle son, and then my youngest daughter to read a different chapter from the Bible. I didn’t put a lot of thought into a theme or where to read; just reading any part was good. Sometimes, perhaps by divine intervention, they seemed to follow a common thread.
