sunday afternoon. 

i've had posts in my head all week. but somehow getting them typed out hasn't happened.

benny came up to me yesterday and asked -

'you know where my rubber band gun is?'

no, i said.

'why!' was his response.

ahh, of the 27 things on my brain at that second his gun wasn't one of them : )

good bible story books for kids are not easy to find - this one is phenomenal.  God's word is not a book about great men, cool stories or pretty poetry ... its about Jesus.

'... every story whispers His name ...'   its beautiful. 



we read after dinner ... or breakfast ... or sometimes after lunch.  i've quit telling them 'we'll read one more' - 'cause we never just read one more : )  its a bit over ben & molly's level - but sailor & jack sit captivated.



its major theme is about how from the very beginning God had a plan to rescue us from us & our sin.



and one of the repeat lines is how He loves us -

    with a Never Stopping, Never Giving Up, Unbreaking, Always and Forever Love ....
 
 




we're almost done with our 1st time through it - it won't be the last.

   'tis not that i did choose Thee,

   for Lord, that could not be;
   this heart would still refuse Thee,
   hadst Thou not chosen me ...

   my heart owns none before Thee,
   for Thy rich grace i thirst;
   this knowing, if i love Thee,
   Thou must have loved me first'
             josiah conder, 1836
           from the Jesus storybook
