The word routine might be more appropriate. However you phrase it, I want to share what we are doing for our Bible lessons in our homeschool this year. Our faith is part of our daily life. We are a Christian family, and my husband is actually in vocational ministry. We talk about God and the Good News in our daily life often. With that said, I have chosen to do some intentional instruction on the Bible this year. My school aged kids are still young, being only in second grade and kindergarten, so I really wanted to take that into consideration when deciding what our goals would be. I decided that rather than focus on scripture memorization, I wanted my kids to learn the narrative of the Bible. I wanted them to learn and have a better understanding of the people and stories of the Bible, and how they reveal God&#8217;s love for us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"our-bible-time\">Our Bible Time<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>I am using a <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3xRr8qB\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">children&#8217;s Bible<\/a> as our main source to accomplish this. Guys, I love this children&#8217;s bible so much. Each story is so beautifully and clearly written on a child&#8217;s level without sounding babyish. The corresponding chapter and verses are always given if you want to go even deep with your learner. At the end of each story, there is a section called Christ Connection, and this is where the story (whether taken from the Old or New Testament) is brought back to Jesus and the gospel. Lastly, the passage ends with a comprehension question for the learner. This bible isn&#8217;t particularly meant for schooling, but it so beautifully serves that purpose for our family. We also read from <a href=\"https:\/\/intentionallywell.org\/2021\/03\/26\/the-best-picture-books-to-add-to-your-easter-baskets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">faith based picture books<\/a>, which always spark meaningful conversations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This set up has worked really nicely with my girls for our homeschool bible curriculum. The &#8220;lessons&#8221; are short and engaging but also very meaningful. We are focusing on the New Testament for this fall semester. We are going to learn all about the life and work of Jesus, which will culminate  with celebrating His birthday at Christmas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also, can I just say how much I miss in person church?! Man&#8230;.anyone else? Okay, thanks. I just needed to put that somewhere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**Links are affiliates which helps to support my little passion blog here at Intentionally Well.
