I’d be honored to be added to your blogroll, Tanya. And I’ll be back to read more of your site!

I just loved it when my kids’ curiosity about the Bible and its stories created excitement. I couldn’t ask for a better foundation to teach from. It wasn’t always there for every instance I wanted to teach something spiritual, but I always tried to capitalize on it when it happened. That’s exactly what you did, Tanya, and Ellie benefitted greatly from it.

You also asked a great question. How do us adults keep the same level of excitement as our children? I know for me it’s a matter of dying to myself and taking up the cross daily – sometimes several times a day!

Thanks for sharing what happened with Ellie and creating such a thought provoking post. And thanks for the link, too!

I’m a product of parents who took such a view of their home.
I’m not saying I’m perfect or anything, but I honestly believe most of my Bible-knowledge (and foundations of my relationship with God) comes from childhood. Without those foundations, I wouldn’t have thought through them in the way I have at adulthood. And the way my parents taught me preserved the childlike love I had then for the present. I still love reading my Bible and learning new things like I did then.

That is so cool Tanya!

I am really excited. We just ordered Egermeier’s ‘Bible Story Book’ for us to read daily to the kids as family devotions.

I got it through half.com for $5 including shipping! I’m very excited.

It’s basically the stories in the Bible, told so the young ones can understand it (with a picture every couple of pages). Most kids’ devos are little stories with a Bible verse attached. But Drew and I really want to teach the kids the actual Bible. So we are excited and think this will help us to do that. The guy wrote it first in 1912, and there have been many editions out since then.

Our kids really are our mission field. And they’re so cute!
