Sunday during Relief Society we had a great lesson on "Scriptures". It left me thinking as I was driving home about what I could do as a mom and wife to better the scripture study in our home. Some sisters gave ideas like : keeping a piece of paper and pen beside your scriptures so you can write down simple promptings and thoughts you have when you read. Another woman shared about how a mother wrote scriptures down on a piece of paper then put them in a jar on the table. Each night when the family had dinner they picked a scripture to talk about.
Well I LOVED the ideas so I took it a step further and I decided to keep a basket of primary gospel art pictures on our table. On the back of each picture is a summary of what you are reading about with scriptures and fun information.
Hunter loves being able to pic a picture each night and read about it. He helped me find the scripture and we read it together. The first night he wanted to read 3, I was happy for his excitement. I felt that with a "picture" to view as well as the scripture it might be easier for the little kids to really get involved.
I was grateful for the small and simple reminders we get on Sunday of the things we should and could be doing with our children.

Ezra Taft Benson
“I told the brethren that the Book of Mormon was the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.”
Joseph Smith
“And so, I counsel you, my beloved brothers and sisters and friends everywhere, to make reading in the Book of Mormon a few minutes each day a lifelong practice.”
Marion G. Romney, as quoted by President Ezra Taft Benson
“It was by faith that this marvelous record of ancient peoples, this testament which we call the Book of Mormon, was brought forth by the gift and power of God.”
Gordon B. Hinckley
“The holy scriptures are for children, to fill their eager minds with sacred truth.”
Thomas S. Monson
“[The Book of Mormon] will give you a greater desire to live in harmony with … gospel teachings.”
Howard W. Hunter
“And when ye shall receive these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.”
What a powerful quote by ~Marion G. Romney ~
“I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to the counsel of their parents. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity—the pure love of Christ—will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness.”
