Greetings All and Happy Monday!
Well at least now I know or have a pretty good idea why Mo has been asking about religion. When I got home from work on Friday he reported that his teacher had a birthday coming up. I asked if he knew what she'd like for her birthday and we could pick it up over the weekend. He told me that one of her favorite things is CANDY & Diet COKE.. I said okay we could pick her up a little something.
Just then he stopped me and said, "No mommy we can't get her any Coke or candy... Miss B promised to give it up for 40 days." I said we'd find something nice that wasn't candy or coke. Then he asked, "Mommy what religion is that, when you promise to give up the thing you love the most?" I said it was the Catholic religion but that it could really be anyone from any religion.. He went into his room and a few minutes later came out and reported that he would be giving up video games and his hot wheels for 40 days..
He was so excited about church on Sunday that he picked out what he was going to wear Friday night before bed time. My husband and I are very happy that he has so much interest in learning about God and the bible. He has been asking for his own Bible since before Christmas.. I think it's time we got him one. Any ideas on really good childrens King James Bibles? We've looked and can't seem to find one with the thumb tabs and I just know he'd enjoy that one the most..
