Luke Walks Us Thru Jesus’ Life

As we started our Family Pit Stop yesterday I asked Luke if he would review for me our Bible Trading Cards. Sara grabbed my iPhone and Luke surprised us by going through all the cards with very little help. This wasn’t staged or planned. And while the video is a little longer than I normally would post – I post it first and foremost for family to enjoy and secondly as an encouragement to dads to show them just how effective just a few minutes a day is of being intentional with your kids in opening up the Bible (or Bible trading cards as the case may be) and teaching your kids the Word. It’s not the church’s job, it’s your job to teach your kids the Bible. (Deut. 6) Hear me dads: When we are doing our Pit Stop (as we call our family devotional time) Luke is often fiddling, fussing, fidgeting, etc. and I half wonder if he is “getting it” – but this video demonstrates that he is hearing it and learning, and there is lots he knows that comes up other times that isn’t reflected here in the video. It was especially touching when we got…

By Kidologist.com from Denver, CO on 1/5/2011 4out of 5 Chest Size: Feels true to size Length: Feels true to length Sleeve Length: Feels too long Pros: Comfortable, Attractive Design, Breathable Cons: Sleeves Wrong Size, I need to tailor arms, Irregular Size Best Uses: Going Out, Travel, Church Describe Yourself: Comfort-oriented, Practical, Trendy, Very Techy, Like to Carry Lots Stuff I love the coat, I bought two! The iPad bulks a little more than I like, perhaps the coat should be a little thicker to compensate, but I can see it is a challenge to have a sport coat with an iPad pocket. I will hide it by wearing open with my hand in pocket on that side when a picture in being taken, as it looks slightly odd to see the square corners. When the coat is buttoned…

Luke at the Nativity

We searched the house, where could Luke be? Finally, we went outside… and there he was… at the nativity, worshiping Jesus. What did he bring? Was it Frankincense? Myrrh? A toy car? OK, so the picture was posed, but it has been wonderful to see our son’s understanding of Christmas blossom this year, especially as this was the year he asked Jesus into his heart, and all by himself one evening when he was alone. “Quizzed” by his parents later, he assured us he knew what he was doing. We’ve seen so much fruit to reflect a change in his heart and vocabulary we are assured that the Christ of Christmas now lives in our little boy. Now he won’t let a day go by without Dad teaching him something new about Jesus! It’s made this Christmas all the more special to us.
