Today I was sitting and talking with my 6 year old and 4 year old. I was explaining how the baby in my tummy gets food, drink, and breathes. I continued to tell them how we need plants to live, you know the oxygen/carbon dioxide exchange. I continued by asking them, "Isn't it amazing how God made everything to work?" My 4 year old, shown in the photo, piped up and matter of factly said, "It's for God's honor!"This is just a glimpse that the love of the Lord is growing within her and our teachings are being rooted in her heart. Even at 4 years old, she knows the chief end of man and of all creation; to glorify God!!
Thank you Lord for such a rich blessing!!

That's beautiful. My 4 y.o. is just trying to grasp how Christ could've died and yet still live today. Congrats on raising kids of faith.

How precious! Children are such a blessing and a joy!
Ya know... this reminds me when my now 18 year old son was 4. I read him the story of Jonah. When I was done, he told me ' I wouldn’t want to play hide and seek with God." I asked him why? He said, “because He wouldn’t have to turn around and look for me, He already knows where I am!"
Out of the mouth of babes! I treasure these things in my heart...as I’m sure you do. *Ü*
She is adorable by the way!

Kristine, that is a blessing. I pray she keeps that love for God alive as she grows!
I figured you were dealing with pregnancy issues - I knew you didn't forget the exercise challenge....who could forget a guilt-driven activity like that? LOL! ;-)
I'm praying for a wonderful pregnancy for you! -
