Bedtime Talks
I absolutely love my bedtime talks with my kids. They are my favorite conversations of the day. We always read a story from the Bible and end up discussing it. I love watching my daughter understand truth, her gift of mercy and her heart for God as it grows. I love my son's deep thoughts, his ideas and the gift of knowledge god has placed within him.
Tonight we read Daniel and discussed how one man's obedience and bravery led to thousands of people praying to the one true God. We discussed what would have happened if he had not been obedient. Also, how the world would have been different if Jesus had chosen not to obey the Father's wishes. We had a great discussion and I love watching them learn. I feel so blessed to be able to teach them everyday.
On a lighter note, during our discussion tonight, KJ had the idea that there should be a King or leader who is a Christian and makes everyone in the country pray to our God. "He just makes everyone follow him." I laughed and told him that he was going to really enjoy our History unit this year. As we study the Middle Ages and the horrible crusades I will be interesting to see how he reacts to their methods of forcing people to follow Christ. I told him, "That actually happened before and you'll just have to wait and see how it turns out.". I anticipate lots of deep discussions in the future this school year! I can't wait!
