We love the Word of God around here... like read-it-everyday, hide-it-in-your-heart, and teach-it-to-others kind of love! We are passionate about passing on this love to our children. We take it pretty seriously around here. At 9am (even in the summer) you will find the three older kids and I singing Bible songs, rehearsing the books of the Bible, memorizing a verse, and reading the next verses/chapter in the book of the Bible that we are working through. Currently we are studying I Samuel... I can't wait until we get to David, but right now Hannah is enjoying reading about herself and her son Samuel! :) Since January we have studied Daniel, Exodus, and Joshua.
Since Grace will need to know the books of the Old Testament in order this fall for Sparks, one of the goals I have had for her is to have her memorize them this summer. Little did I know in my quest for GRACE to know them, Hannah and Josiah were learning them right along with us. We are well over half way there and Josiah says them right along with us. Listen to him say them and be blessed that he is learning to love this book and the Lord with all his heart, soul, mind and strength.
Our prayer for our children is to love God and His Word... What about you? Is this a passion of yours? I would challenge you... if it NOT a passion in your home, what is more important than this?
love it!!
