Good Morning Nate!

Scripture Memory

I've recently been trying to memorize scripture. I would practice with Charlie's "help" just with the hope of modeling it to him, but my little guy surprised me and showed me he's capable of so much more that I give him credit for. I was recently reviewing some of the verses with him before bed, and next thing I know he's reciting one of them on his own:

He made him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, so that we might become the righteousness of God in him. 2 Cor 5:21

Granted, Charlie's version is closer to: "He made him who knew no sin to be our behalf, that ri-chi-ness in Him." Close enough. It is so precious to hear him say it in his little boy voice. I pray that both he and Nate will grow up desiring to know God's word and write in on their hearts.

Our home group from church also just decided to do some scripture memory, so we're going to tackle the whole book of Philippians! I'm excited about the challenge. So far I'm four verses in. :)

Trick or Treat

The boys and I spent Halloween with our friends, the Colemans and Birchfields. Between us we have five boys, and brand-new baby girl. It was our first trick-or-treat experience. Charlie wanted to eat the candy right away after visiting the first house, so I explained to him that we would go to the next house and get candy, too. So then after each house he'd say "Go next house!" He really enjoyed it, and Nate did pretty well waiting in the stroller. Charlie indulged in some candy that night, but fortunately he forgot all about it the next day. (More for Momma!)
