Last night we were reviewing our Bible verses. Cutlet has now learned Genesis 1:1, John 3:16, and John 1:1. We've been trying to get Romans 3:23 down for awhile now, but for some reason he cannot remember "For all". He will say "For God" ... then stop. Or he'll just keep going with that and say John 3:16 altogether. But once we give him the word "all", he runs with it and knows the rest by heart. It's been difficult knowing what to do to get him to remember it. Granted we only review at night before bed, and I've thought maybe I should work with him in the morning as well. I just haven't. So finally last night I just had him repeat over and over: For all... For all... For all... For all... He was finally able to say it once by himself with no prompts.
But the amazing thing was that in the middle of our frustration with Cutlet in trying to get him to say Romans 3:23, our little 2yo Lively just started into it all by herself in her cute little 2yo voice:
For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.WHAT?!? Did I just hear that right?
Amazing. I'm constantly reminded of how quickly and easily little minds grasp words, phrases and concepts. I just pray that "the words of my mouth ... [may] ... be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer" so that my kids would hear and reproduce Truth and not foolish, crass talk. Amen.

So so true...our words are powerful and we must take care how we use each one...and, yes, little minds are quite amazing!
