Family Scripture Study was getting to be a real strain on the spirit as I tried to fight against all these little "natural mans" who wanted to sleep, mumble, bother their siblings, etc. I realized Satan was winning the battle- he tempted each child in their own way so that the spirit was strained and we learned practicallly nothing and mom felt drained and mad. I needed to find a way to encourage reverence so that we could really learn each day. "Reverence invites Revelation"
A couple of weeks ago I had a bright idea to "grade" them on their behavior at family scripture study and family prayer. The reward is homemade cookies made by Sadie on Sunday night. Their behavior is DRASTICALLY different now that it is measured and we are learning tons each morning. "When performance is measured, performance improves!"
