A Duteronomy 6 House

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 says this:

 ⁴ “Hear, O Israel! The LORD is our God, the LORD is one! ⁵ You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. ⁶ These words, which I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart. ⁷ You shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up. ⁸ You shall bind them as a sign on your hand and they shall be as frontals on your forehead. ⁹ You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

This month our family is sitting down and talking about scripture, yes we talk about the Bible regularly, but we are picking out scriptures and making a list of our favorites. This list will be broken down to a select few that represent our family the best right now. It may be something we want to aspire to, something that we feel makes us happy, words of encouragement, words of wisdom. We have not yet chosen our "family verse," that is what will become our family creed so to speak. But our deadline is November 30th!

We will then take that verse and we will be creating a piece of artwork that we can hang in our home. This artwork will become a part of what our family wants to represent. It will be something to remind us of Deuteronomy 6 and how we should eat, live breathe, walk, talk, even dream the Lords word. This is especially important for our kids to experience. Right now those little bugs are craving knowledge and what better way to give it to them than by leading by example. You are their current #1 Hero, their eyes and ears are open to you more now than they ever will be. This will be a creative way to work with the kids and let them play a role in learning the word and applying it to their space and then seeing it daily.

I hope fall brings you and your family close together and that you stop and take the time to enjoy it and to have a few lessons each day using God's word to guide you.

Happy Fall & Many Blessings,
Amber
