A little reading

My first bible was a Precious Moments NIV.  I loved that thing.  It had cute pictures, some cute stories and it came with a fabric cover that I thought was totally cool.  It was slate blue with pink flowers, a pink heart and some lace.  It was totally late 80's and I loved it. 

Because I was in AWANA and they did Bible quizzing, I bought stickers that went on the first page of each book in the bible so I could quickly find verses like Habakkuk 1:17, 2 John 2:1 and Amos 3:2.  I have no idea what those verses are about, but I could totally find them.  I remember putting each of the stickers on my bible thinking "I'm so totally going to win next Wednesday."  Which is totally the right mindset to have.

A few weeks ago N's Aunt Mer and Aunt DeeDee sent some books for the girls.  This past weekend was the first time we were all together to open them.  D & E were beyond thrilled to get bibles.  They each came with a schnazzy case.  Not that either of the cases were as cool as mine from 1986, but they are much more modern.

Each bible had a note telling the girls how proud they are that D & E accepted Jesus as their savior.  It is something they will treasure for a long time to come.

In addition to D & E getting new bibles, Zoe got one too.  A VeggieTales edition.  It even has comic strips in it.

She loves it so much she wants to read it all the time. 

We're working on her Sunday School verse of the month...John 13:34 "love on another."  Right now she can say it.

Maybe by next Sunday she'll be able to find it!
