This included private devotions, family devotions, read alouds, etc. through the years. Over the next couple of days I will give some ideas for this.<\/p>\n<p>Today I will focus on Bible reading together in the mornings. I have expounded over the past year on much of the teaching that we received twenty-plus years ago from Gregg Harris (father of Josh Harris of \u201cI Kissed Dating Good-Bye\u201d and Alex and Brett Harris of \u201cDo Hard Things\u201d) in his \u201cThe Christian Homeschool Workshop.\u201d One of the things that he taught us was to attach things that we want to implement in our homes to something that is already in our schedule, beginning with meal times.<\/p>\n<p>We took his advice on this (and many other things) and came home and attached Bible teaching to just before breakfast\u2014when we \u201crise up.\u201d This has looked different all the time\u2014some of the time Ray did it before work (and the kids went back to bed after he left!); some of the time I did it before breakfast; some of the time I did it during breakfast; some of the times we snuggled in my bed and read Bible and character materials before starting chores and the busy-ness of the day. <\/p>\n<p>One of the downfalls of so many people out there telling us how to teach our children the Bible, how to have devotions, etc. is that it is often made to seem much more difficult than it is! (There are way more benefits, but this is definitely a downfall in our opinon.) <\/p>\n<p>Tomorrow I will list many of the morning devotional ideas that we have used\u2014some are as simple as reading a Proverb and talking! \uf04a<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cYou shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up\u201d Deuteronomy 6:7 In keeping with a potential model in II Peter 1:5 as a basis for our how days would flow: [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_mi_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[630,643,488,633,308,281],"tags":[267,342,317,310,314],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.5.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>\u201cWhen You Rise Up\u201d: Faith in the Mornings Part II of Many (!) - Character Ink<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/when-you-rise-up-faith-in-the-mornings-part-ii-of-many\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"\u201cWhen You Rise Up\u201d: Faith in the Mornings Part II of Many (!) - Character Ink\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"\u201cYou shall teach them diligently to your children and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up\u201d Deuteronomy 6:7 In keeping with a potential model in II Peter 1:5 as a basis for our how days would flow: [&hellip;]\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/when-you-rise-up-faith-in-the-mornings-part-ii-of-many\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Character Ink\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/characterinkcompany\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:author\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/characterinkcompany?ref=bookmarks\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2011-03-29T06:39:00+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2015-09-11T18:38:01+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Donna\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Donna\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/when-you-rise-up-faith-in-the-mornings-part-ii-of-many\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/when-you-rise-up-faith-in-the-mornings-part-ii-of-many\/\",\"name\":\"\u201cWhen You Rise Up\u201d: Faith in the Mornings Part II of Many (!) - Character Ink\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2011-03-29T06:39:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2015-09-11T18:38:01+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/#\/schema\/person\/801ef5fa0749f7c8c379e32c743fba64\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/when-you-rise-up-faith-in-the-mornings-part-ii-of-many\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/when-you-rise-up-faith-in-the-mornings-part-ii-of-many\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/when-you-rise-up-faith-in-the-mornings-part-ii-of-many\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"\u201cWhen You Rise Up\u201d: Faith in the Mornings Part II of Many (!)\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/characterinkblog.com\/\",\"name\":\"Character Ink\",\"description\":\"Home of the Language Lady &amp;
