Question about Bible Time

Post by scampbell2003 » Thu Feb 16, 2012 9:30 am

I will be doing LHFHG and BHFHG. For the Bible Study time and Devotional Time. Is this suppose to be alone with each child? Or could we do it all together in the morning? Thanks newbie here :D

If you are doing two separate guides, you will be doing two different Bible studies with memorization. It would probably be better to go over the memory passages individually, so the child is not overwhelmed with memorization. The devotion books and other Bible reading could definitely be done together. The devotion book is only used once a week.

We like to do ours separately as it draws each child's inner needs, temptations, triumphs, and struggles out, but as presit said, you could do the LHFHG devotions together. They are wonderful! :D We really enjoyed "Devotions for the Children's Hour", so much so that I often give it as a gift to my non-homeschooling friends. Same with "Little Pillows" - that is a little book with a ton of depth. I would do "Little Pillows" with just your BHFHG dc, as it begs to be discussed privately with that age - lots of wonderful character and faith building topics come up that older dc benefit from a more mature, as well as more private, discussion. The Bible memory work should be separate, though everyone would enjoy hearing the uplifting music. Our older dc still like to sing along as they work, even though I am focusing on Emmett as we sing his Hide 'Em in Your Heart CD for LHFHG. HTH! :D
