Faith like a child

It has been a joy recently watching Elizabeth's language flourish and seeing her learn so many different things. A wonderful thing about her age is the way that she likes to copy everything we do and say (can be not-so-woderful sometimes!). She often sees our Bible on the lounge or table and wants to look at it. Of course we don't want her to rip the pages so we tell her to go and find her own Bible. She is able to find it very quickly and then sits looking at the pictures. This morning and when we got home from playgroup she asked me to read her Bible to her: "Read Bible story". It is such a privelege to read her truths about Jesus and see her so eager to listen! She also loves us praying with her at mealtimes and before she goes to bed. She even prays with her baby doll before giving her something to eat by taking baby's hand, bowing her head and saying "Dear God, food, amen". So cute!
I pray that as we teach her about Jesus and pray with her that she will learn what it means to love and follow Jesus.
