Deuteronomy 6:6-9
New King James Version (NKJV)
6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.
My sweet little girl, who's learning to read (slowly but surely!) was in desperate need of a new Bible, because the binding was coming off of her old one. That kid can wear out a Bible, and I'm not sure how, but at least she's learning to carry it with her to church and is starting to look things up and try to read them and learn the books in order.
So far she's learned all the way to Ecclesiastes! I'm so proud! (and her little brother is giving her a run for her money because at 3 yrs old he can already say the first five books in order and almost pronounce them correctly!)
So anyways, we looked all over for the perfect Bible for her, and she kept coming back to this one, it was her absolute favorite, so we finally ordered it (yay amazon!)
So here are a few pictures of the day she got it, she was so excited to get her own mail!
It is good to see her so excited about this - I remember the Christmas that I asked for a Bible - got it, was totally excited and loved that I got a Bible... then ... never... read ... it ... at all. Until about 4 or 5 years later - and was glad that I had it to read, when I needed it!
ReplyDeleteThat is so pretty! I understand why she was so happy with that!
