Learning About God As A Youngster

     In our Church, we have something called Family Prayer and Family Scripture Study.  We try to be consistent on a daily basis, calling together our families to pray twice daily and study the word of God once each day.  It is amazing to me, that children from very young and young people into their teens are willing and eager to come and learn more about God because they want to go to Heaven.  It is the father's duty to gather the family together for this purpose, or the mother's if there is no father in the home.  If you call and they don't come for study and prayer time, you are just supposed to go ahead and read scriptures and pray without them though, so it is not a forced thing, but I find that unless mine are sleeping or out or busy doing something they can't easily break off from right away (in which last case we usually wait until they are ready to come to the table because they are usually willing) they rally to the table soon.
