Dinah -
Nice to hear from you! I love your approach. I think it's wonderful how you're teaching your son how to make God a real part of everyday life. It's so easy to get caught up in the hectic pace of daily living & forget about God entirely. I admire the way you're making Him a focus.
I heard somewhere that we're not human beings having a spiritual experience; we're really spiritual beings having a human experience.
I think I'd like to try to incorporate your family ritual into our dinnertime conversation.
I agree that doing God's will isn't usually easy. It almost always involves denying my own preferences & thinking of others - not something that comes naturally to me, I'm sad to say. It's amazing to me that a woman who homeschools 7 children can still manage to be selfish! God have mercy...
Thanks for sharing your family's focus on hearing God.
Shalom, Dena
