Bedside Theology
I am always intrigued by the things my children say at bedtime. Right now it is most often Timothy because he is really into having me put him to bed. Each night we have the same routine..say prayers then he recites all the verses he knows (this may be a delay tactic but I don't want to discourage it)and then we say goodnight, give kisses...etc. Last night he started talking after his prayers. He told me, "Jesus died on the cross because he did. Some men killed him." It provided a great opportunity to talk with him about the WHY Jesus died for us and that He specifically died for Timothy (and the rest of us!) It was very sweet. I am very thankful for opportunities like that. What a blessing. What a gift.
Enjoy your day!

Awesome... it's amazing that God has blessed both of our families with the opportunity to know Him at such an early age. Sometimes I wish I had an amazing story of being saved from a horrible, destructive life, but the more and more I think about it, we have an amazing story as well!
Keep up the memory verses Timothy!
Glad to see you are enjoying following God's direction of training up a child while he is young and the notable word here in this circumstance is enjoying. It is amazing that by obedience here there is joy. Timothy is such a blessing !!! MOM
