The B-I-B-L-E

For the past couple of weeks Eli and I have been doing "schoolwork". We have been trying to learn colors, shapes, animal sounds and a lot of other things he needs to know. However, I had felt some conviction over something major that I wasn't teaching him like I should. The Bible. All those things are important for his academics but nothing is more important than God's word. So, I decided to redo our monthly schedule and do one topic on the same day of the week. For example - Monday is Shapes Day, Tuesday is Colors Day, Wednesday is Letter Day, Thursday is Bible Day and Friday is Craft Day. We do each of these things every day but the main focus will be on the specific topic.

Today is Thursday which means it's Bible day in the Burnham house. We have a Bible story book that tells one page Bible stories. Which are great for my little active 2 year old. Today we learned that the Bible is God's word and that it is God's letter to us. Although it was meant for a toddler I received such a blessing from it. Not only was it a blessing to see Eli so interested in the Bible but the message of the story was a blessing to me. Think about it - God wrote a special letter to us to read anytime we want. When we are in trouble, when we are happy and when we just want to feel the presence of God. What an amazing thought.

After we read our Bible story we sang a few songs. His current favorite song is the B-I-B-L-E. Please excuse his Mommy's horrible singing in the video below ...

We then colored a pretty Bible coloring sheet and then we recited (actually I recited) Psalm 119:105 a few times. Psalm 119:105 says, Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto thy path.

We even got the markers out, which is a extra special treat for Eli.

He had a little too much fun with the markers, lol.

After nap time we simply just sat at a window and watched it rain. To my amazement Eli sat there for about 10 minutes. He was in awe! Eli would point at the rain and then point at the ceiling. I explained to him that we should be thankful that we aren't getting wet. That we have a house to keep us dry and safe. He was very concerned when I told him some people didn't have houses. I asked him who we should thank for our house (looking for God as the answer) and he said Dad. Although that wasn't the answer I was looking for it is a very good one. I am thankful that his Daddy works hard to provide for us.

I leave you with this video of my brilliant little boy. Of course, I'm not biased at all! Happy Thursday!

PS -

ABC Wednesday had to be postponed this week due to Mommy having to go to the doctor. We'll pick it back up next week :)
