The daughter God has blessed us with.
Yesterday, Victoria noticed the incorrect spelling of school (skool) and play (pla). She pointed them out and then gave us the correct spelling. Today we had some family time together on mom and dad's bed, talking, reading, and praying. Victoria wanted to do the reading that I had planned to share. She read from the Bible for the first time today. If I died tomorrow, I would be glad she learned this one thing more than any other. She even did her weekend writing about reading the Bible. She said it was exciting and that she was proud. Her reading brought so much joy to my day and my life. After reading the verse I had chosen to share she began reading her own selection. It was about the 2 greatest commandments to love the Lord and love your neighbor. So, after talking about the 4 of us gathering and God being right there with us, we discussed those 2 greatest commandments. I'm not paraphrasing either, it does say the 2 greatest commandments. Sebastian told us while we were discussing God being there with us, that Ginger, our dog stepped right through God. I guess in a sense she did. It's funny the things kids think about. He is just so stinkin' cute. When he prays he says, "Thank you for God and Jesus," and then usually he goes on to be thankful for his family and many other things! While we were talking we were talking we discussed the new house and the move. Victoria was concerned that we might not have room in the new house for all of our stuff. Really it's just stuff and doesn't matter much, but for that matter neither does the new house. Last night we were watching some street dancers on the Madonna special, and Victoria was crying and had such a heart for the orphaned children in Africa, whose parents they lost to AIDS. She kept asking about who would take care of them. We talked about praying for them and our friends that are their and Victoria wanted to save her own money to send to help them help the orphans.Madonna is not any idol of mine, I'm not even that big of a fan. I do enjoy watching dance though. In one segment of her show she puts on a crown of thorns in front of a giant cross, which would probably bother a lot of Christians. As someone who loves God and is trying my best to follow his teachings. I thought she did a good job delivering a message. So many people are God fearing even if they aren't God followers and maybe they will be more apt to see what is going on in other parts of the country and do something about it. I know it made me reallize what a slacker I have been. I have been meaning to do some things that it reminded me that I haven't done, and thus I go!
