Every night before going to bed, John & I check on both of our precious little ones. Usually we have to re-adjust their blankets, make sure they have their favorite stuffed animal right beside them, and make sure they aren't going to fall out of the bed during the night. One night last week, we found Jordan like the photo above - in her bed, her favorite animal (named Boppy - who knows why - that she's had since birth) right beside her and holding her Children's One Year Bible strong within her grip.
John & I read our One Year Bible daily and she hears us talk about what we read that day often. We LOVE reading our Bible this way and even got my parents hooked on it as well. My Mom (Grandmother) so strongly believes in this Bible reading plan, that she bought all of the grandkids the children's edition last summer. Jordan LOVES hers!
Of all of the options on her bookshelf - Goodnight Moon, Dora, Barbie, and all the other classics - this is the one that she choose to read after we tucked her in for the night! I couldn't have been prouder. (obviously, since we took a photo of her sleeping)
Just a word of encouragement to Moms everywhere... just when you think you're not doing a good job - know that you are! In between the fights with her brother, the screaming to get out of her room, the asking for a snack for the gazillionth time - we see moments like this in our children. And they really do make all the stressful Mom moments fade.
I love all dearly!
Your sis in the faith,
Pen

This was truly a sweet post. I ask myself the same question all the time. It's great when kids show you in their little moments that they're "getting it" after all. I started praying that God's spirit would be on my boys from the moment I knew they were coming. I'm also thankful that they have examples to look up to other than me!! :-)
