No Words to Describe the Feeling..

We have a rule in our home that the kids are not allowed to use any electronics (tv, video games, radios, etc.) until they have done 3 things. 1. Read for 20 minutes (5 minutes of scripture, 15 of their choice). 2. Daily chore. 3. Homework/Handwriting assignments.

They figured out very quickly that if they took care of their reading and chore upon waking it makes their day go smoother. This morning they asked if they could read aloud together, from the same book.

This is what I found...

....them cuddled next to each other, each reading a verse until they had read an entire chapter of their scriptures, completing the entire 20 minutes this way.

Makes my heart soar, and gives me hope that I'm doing something right, in this arena of motherhood.
