“I am resolved to be a good mother to my children, to pray for them, to set them good examples, to give them good advice, to be careful both of their souls and bodies, to watch over their tender minds; to carefully root out the first appearing and buddings of vice, and to instill piety, virtue and true religion into them.“

Kyle

Kyle, Sarah and I were singing to Kamryn last evening before family worship.

We sang "Jesus Loves Me."

"Jesus loves me 
this I know
for the Bible 
tells me so.
Little ones
to Him belong
they are weak
but He is strong!

Yes, Jesus 
loves me!
Yes, Jesus
loves me!
Yes, Jesus
loves me!

The Bible 
tells me so!"

A few minutes later Kyle came to me and asked "Mom, who is the sino?"

"The sino?" I asked.
"Yea, in the song "Jesus Loves Me."  "The sino."

"Oh! You mean "this I know."  I said, understanding dawning in my brain...

"What does that mean?"

"It means "Jesus loves me - I know it!"

"Oh!"

Sigh....how I love my little man.

Jesus loves me - I know it! What a great response to such an innocent, precious(and humorous) question!

May he ALWAYS remember and KNOW that Jesus loves him!

What a great picture!

We love to know how the children think and find ourselves amused by the learning of language. I remember my own troubles understanding things way back in the dark ages when I was a child. ☺

Happy Columbus Day to all!
