Jessie Green, one of the sweetest funniest friends I have, and a fellow momma of 3 and of twins! We have a bond through that (even if she doesn't know it lol) She shared with us all one day the name of a book. The Jesus Storybook Bible.
My mom went out the next day and picked it up for us. Now as some of you know Bella asked back before Christmas when she could be baptatised(yep super serious when you add the extra ta) and I asked her what she thought that meant and she said that it was what you did when Jesus came to live in your heart. Needless to say momma bawled.
Each night she and I snuggle in my bed and read this new bible. The look in her eyes as I read these stories about Joseph and Moses, Jonah and Naaman, a young slave girl who loved God even though she had been through such tragedy. These people and stories are coming to life for her.
2 days ago she begged me to hurry up and read so we could get to the good part. When I asked her what the "good part" was she said in her most "you are the dumbest person in the world voice" she sighed and said "JESUS". I love that the "good part" of the book we are sharing together in her eyes is Jesus. Makes me a very proud momma.
So all of this to say GO RUN RIGHT NOW BUY THIS BOOK! It is a gift to yourself and your family.
