At this point, I am going to introduce in my blog my two kids. I will be referring to them using their second names being, Eve and Anne. Eve is now 7 years old and will be turning 8 this June. Anne just turned 2 this April, and so they are 6 years apart.
This is how Eve's bible looks like at present day. This was given to her by one of her godparents during her dedication day. So it's 7 years old also. Eve and I introduced this bible to her sister Anne as soon as she becomes attentive to stuff, that was when she was 14 months old or even earlier. We just kept on telling her that the man on the cover is Jesus. Then some nights at bedtime, Eve and I take turns in reading to her. As time goes by, she learned to say Zee-sus. Now, during bedtime, she would take my hand, bring me to the room and say Zee-sus. Her way of saying, "Mama, let's read the bible." She likes flipping the colorful pages while pretending to read.
When I was new in the faith, it was hard for me to understand this verse"...anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it... Luke 18:17". Now I understand it full well. I am so amazed at how a little child would just accept and believe everything that I say about God. In Eve's case, there were many whys and hows, but never a doubt. Every now and then, I will be posting stories manifesting her child-like faith.
