I love how kids retell what they learned. When they do the Word is so fresh and raw...
so thought I'd share the boys re-telling of the beginning of Joseph's story...
Josiah says "I learned that Joseph ran and left his coat (when Potiphar's wife cornered him) and I learned that Joseph went to prison and he shouldn't have gone to prison. Sometimes things just happen and you just need to go with the flow...they happen to me all the time... BUT.. Joseph should have told that she was lying."
Jonathan says "His brothers tied him up and put him in this pit and these merchants were comin and they said 'hey maybe if we sell him we'll get some money'....and he was suppose to go to some castle and they go to some other castle and then some girl wants to marry him but, she's was already married to another person....then she lied ....and he ran away...and then her husband got furious and threw him in jail and then all of a sudden he was in charge of everything in the jail"
I absolutely love how kids retell what they learned...it really shows what sunk in and what didn't exactly set in..
It's been a little while since I've written anything on here. I realized it's difficult to do when hubby is home...I suppose my time is better well spent cuddling with my handsome husband...BUT since he left today for a 3 week trip to India...Back to blogging :)
We read today about Joseph and the kids loved the story of Joseph and his brothers and that coat and how his brothers treated him. They learned that even though someone has the favor of God on their side sometimes bad things can still happen to them.
I am really loving the interaction of reading through the Bible with my kids and I really love how they cheer when I say "OK guys get out your Bibles"
I know it pleases the Lord to see his children so eager to soak up His word.
