Devotional

Come, Follow Me – New Testament

We start each of our days with this beautiful “family study” as we call it. Jacob and Sarah each have their own New Testament scriptures to read from. We use the study guide and also subscribe to The Red Headed Hostess for some more supplementary things which have been AMAZING! This has truly transformed our home!

It seems like SO MUCH when I write it all down! Many of these things we do not do every day – in fact, some are just once a month! But we are so excited for all that we will learn and experience together! Bring on second grade!!!
