This is how I found Asher yesterday in his room… reading his Bible! :)
The Jesus Storybook Bible is a favorite in our house!!! It was given to us before Asher was born by some very special friends. I loved reading it to Asher when he was a baby and would just lay there… then he got too squirmy and didn’t have the attention span long enough for the stories. Thankfully he is now able to sit through (most) stories and often asks for a second! He asks for the “Bible Book” before each nap and bedtime. I can only pray that these stories are soaking into his heart! :)
This Bible is different than other kid Bibles in that each story alludes to Jesus. I love how they word it, “Every story whispers His name!” So not only are they teaching the basic Bible stories they are giving hints of Jesus Christ in each story! The stories and illustrations are beautiful! If you don’t have this book yet I just thought I’d recommend it!
…And this last picture is what I get when I say, “Asher can you look at me and smile?” Ha!
This was our passage yesterday at MOPS and it was a great reminder about our ultimate calling as Christian parents! More than just teaching manners, singing the ABC’s, and doing laundry. ;)
5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates. Deut. 6:5-9
Happy early Mother’s Day to all my sweet friends who are working SO hard to raise children who love the Lord!!
