Don't you love it when you see you child excited about learning new things? Last night, I got to enjoy watching Aiden excited about learning the Bible. We started a nightly devotional book called, "Jesus Calling for Kids" by Sarah Young and Aiden is truly enjoying it.
I don't know how much he actually gets from the devotionals themselves, but he is excited about looking up the bible verses attached, which is a blessing itself. I taught him how to use the contents in the front, how to recognize the chapter and verse numbers, and even that Psalms is in the middle of the Bible. When we found the verse we were looking up, he would read it the best he could. How sweet it was and how proud I was to see our child excited about the Bible. At one point he even exclaimed, "this is really fun."
I'm not sure exactly when I learned the most basic things about the Bible, it was always a part of what I did, but I know somehow, I learned. I do remember learning a song in Vacation Bible School about how to remember the New Testament. I still can remember it today. My prayer for Aiden is that he will always get the same joy and excited from ready scripture and he will always think it is "really fun."
