Tears to my eyes

In church, I've been getting Elli out of the nursery and letting her stay with us during the music. Brent is in the choir and praise team so Elli really likes watching him sing. She also LOVES music so it works well. This Sunday, my dad was holding her and we started singing "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, etc" This is Elli's new Bible verse to learn. When we started singing, Elli's eyes got really big and she squeezed my dad's neck and said, "papa, this is my Bible verse!" She was so happy. It made me cry, hard. She is so precious and I love seeing her get excited about recognizing the Bible verse.

Sweet Eli!

I haven't take Bekah into the 'big church' for music in awhile. I might have to do that more. Since we goto first service now that will be easier. Bekah like to go into the choir room while they are warming up and sit on Gordon's lap.

What a sweet, precious little girl!! I think it's great that she is already learning Bible verses! She has a pretty great mommy and daddy, too! =)

God blesses us through our children in so many ways. As He was receiving Eli's praises, he allowed your eyes to witness the situation and you received a blessing as well.
Good job of training her up in the way she should go!!
