Bible Bee Family Night

We had our Week One family night last night.  Hubby grilled hotdogs and we sat around the bonfire in the back yard.  We prayed together, talked about what we have studied, and prayed for one another.  We quoted verses to each other and showed daddy what we have learned.  We read the Bible together.  Hubby and I sat on a swing by the fire and talked while the young ones played on the swingset and sandbox.  It was fun.  It was making memories around our family and our Bibles, the kind of memories I want to pass on to my grandchildren.  I'm so thankful for a husband who takes time to gather us like this and make these memories with his family.

Anyway, enough of the sentiment.  What did we learn last week?  My girls know the geography of Jonah, the names of the towns mentioned and the general location on the map.  The know the characters of Jonah: Jonah, Amittai, sailors, captain, Ninevites, king.  Oh, and a fish.  A big one.  We discussed the power and sovereignty of  God in the lives of people and in nature.

My husband hasn't done any of the study, but the parent's guide from Bible Bee helped him know exactly what questions to ask to bring out the answers from the children.  He feels like he is completely a part of it, even though he mostly just joins us on the family activities.  Bible Bee has done a great job with the parent's book to enable dads to take part with a minimum of time, because most dads I know just don't have time to add another study to their full workload.
