Bible Stories

Every night I've been reading the Bible to the boys. It is a great story Bible with pictures and questions and they absolutely love it. In fact it helps me get them to want to go to bed. I read the story and ask the boys questions and when Tony comes up to tell them good night they retell him the story so he'll know it too. It is so amazing to hear them to retell the stories and the details they remember. Even little Mackie surprises me ever night.

The other night we read about Hannah and Samuel. When we got to the part about Hannah giving Samuel to Eli, Brady cried. We tried to explain it to him how Eli became like his dad and reassure him that he wasn't going to live with an old scary priest but there was no consoling him. He was just so upset that Samuel didn't get to live with his mommy. His heart is so precious and tender, and he feels things so strongly.

Tonight we read about how David became king and brought the ark back from the Philistines. We've seen the ark twice in our picture Bible so far and Brady seems to be following. I took this opportunity to talk about how when Jesus came, God's spirit didn't dwell in a box he lives in our heart. Mac said "Jesus isn't in our house" and I said "yes he is, you can't see him with your eyes but you see him with your heart, that's where he lives" -- Mackie said "I doesn't live in my heart, he lives in my belly." --- it was so funny and caught me off guard.

Unfortunately there is a lot of killing and dying in the Old Testament but the stories are really good. I can't wait to get to the stories about Jesus. Reading the Bible with my boys has been my most rewarding spiritual endeavor this year and it fills my heart to over flowing. It's a kiss from the King.
