To love God's word...

This morning, while spending time with my God, I began to pray for opportunities to instill a passion for God's word in my childrens' hearts and minds. With a 2 year old, I wasn't quite sure how I would do this, but I just needed to trust that God would create divine appointments for just that. I continued on with my Bible study, and in this book I am studying it talked about how one of the greatest gifts you can give your children is your time...undivided...all to themselves! So, I began my day....
Parker and I were having a fun time jumping on my bed, playing, laughing, enjoying life. When it happened...Parker pointed at Blake's Bible and said "Bible??". I said "yes, that's a Bible...that is God's word"...and then from there we spent about 20 minutes talking about God, and Jesus and the Bible. We prayed and talked some more. It was amazing....absolutely AMAZING!!! I had a little devotional with my 2 year old! God spoke to me at that point. If I had not given my child my time- undivided and intentional- I would have missed one of the most beautiful moments to instill God's word in my child. I would have missed a divine appointment with a little boy that I love more than anything in this world. I also realized that I don't have to "know" what to do to raise a godly man...all I have to do is pray and God will raise up these moments and they will be easy and beautiful- but I must make sure to give him my time, my attention and my all during the day!

PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!
