A Boy Moment

Yesterday, I was folding laundry and Gresham was sitting on the floor playing with tinker toys. “I’m making a sun,” he said. And I thought, “Well, that’s something nice to make!” (Since they usually make weapons.)

Grow Week Day 1: Tiny Farm and Geotropism

Bible Time

Today, we kicked off our “Grow Week” by studying Psalm 1. The Bible often makes comparisons to agriculture because people are familiar with that. In Psalm 1, the person whose “delight is in the law of the LORD” will be like a “tree firmly planted by streams of water.” We talked about the fact that the only sure foundation for life is God’s Word! God will grow us into strong trees as we meditate on and obey His word.

We also sang a preschool favorite (complete with motions)… “Read your Bible and pray every day, pray every day,
