Lately I've been trying to read and journal during Sawyer's afternoon "nap" instead of in the morning. Last Monday, after he'd been in his room for an hour, I told him he could get up. He came running into the dining room and saw that I had my Bible and notebook out. He looked at me and said, "bible?" then ran to his room and came back with his Bible. Since then, we've been having our quiet time together. His time in the Word mostly consists of looking for pictures of babies, or pointing out Adam and "Mimi," but I'm praying that this (spending time in the Word) will become habit for him. Even though it seems small and insignificant since he can't read or even remember lots of the things that we read to him, he will know that reading his Bible is important and should be done every day. And there is nothing sweeter to this mama's eyes than seeing my little boy thumbing through the pages of his Bible.
You shall therefore lay up these words of mine in your heart and in your soul, and you shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall teach them to your children, talking of them when you are sitting in your house, and when you are walking by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates. - Deuteronomy 11:18-20
