God's Word

We have been making a more consistent effort to do family devotions after dinner each night. The boys enjoy the time of reading and discussing what we have read. Peter has started reading a chapter each night to us out of his children's Bible. This is something that he decided to do completely on his own. Last night after he read he said, "It feels good to read God's Word". It was so wonderful to hear him say this. I told him that I thought that it makes Jesus smile to hear him reading the Bible. We went on to discuss some of the other people who are in Heaven who were smiling because of his reading. There was a break in the conversation and Peter said, "I feel so happy. I feel like I might cry." It was so wonderful to see my son express such joy for God's Word. I am so proud of my boy.
