Last night after dinner I busted out all of my supplies to do some work. As I was sitting in the living room, sketching up some awesome Toy Story characters, I couldn't quit looking at the Christmas tree. After a whole 3 minutes I had, had enough. We were opening a present. I got the "thumbs down" from Zach. Naturally. I chose a gift for each of the boys to open anyway. Naturally. :) I chose the gifts that were from my Grandpa Moore. For Zachary it was a book called "Jesus Calling". It's a 365 day devotional for kids. A really great book for kids his age. It encourages them to read the devotional and lists suggested scriptures to look up as well. For Wyatt it was "my First Read Aloud Bible". Both of the boys were SO excited about their gifts. I love that they are both at an age that they are so excited about learning about God. They are constantly asking us questions, wanting us to tell or read them stories and in turn encouraging us to learn more. We sat down and read a few stories form Wyatt's Bible together and then Zachary read his daily devotional to us. This provoked us reading the first stories of Jesus' birth. Mary having her dream, visiting Mary Elizabeth etc. After we had our mini family bible study we were cleaning up and Wyatt says, "Hey. where was Jesus born again?" Zachary quickly answers with complete confidence, "Nottingham!"
Eh, we set him straight but I just see it like this. Bethlehem, Nottingham. Tomato, tomahto. I still feel like we are doing something right. I mean, Jesus of Nottigham sounds just as cool. :)
Yes it does!
