This summer has been a precious time of working through the Bible with my son (age ten). I have always prayed that my children would come to know the Lord at an early age. Thankfully, my son did. He and I have been working through a wonderful book called
The Purple Book. It has been a wonderful experience for us to study the word and pray together. It works through the basics of faith and then expounds upon that. Henry Ward Beecher said, "The mother's heart is a child's classroom". I pray that my children will know my heart on this, and that is that they will desire Jesus above all else. So I have spent this summer taking my spiritual leadership of my children up a notch. I see them growing and learning in the Lord and it blesses my heart so much. I pray that my heart will always be a classroom in which for them to learn. Lessons of love and peace and joy. Lessons of reaching out and serving others. Lessons that teach them that sitting at Jesus' feet and soaking in His truth is a treasure they will carry with them forever. So, I will continue to pour myself out as an offering to the Lord. Praying that it will be pleasing to Him. And also praying that my children will see.
