"Bye-bow! Bye-bow! Bye-bow!"

Ben's current favorite book is his Bible.  Hands down. There's not even a close second.  His favorite story is  David and Goliath, and he mimics David throwing the rock with such intensity (technically it was a slingshot, but we'll fill in the details later) and Goliath hitting the ground.  "Boom!"

When Tim got home from work tonight, the first thing Ben did was drag Tim to his bedroom to look at his "bye-bow, bye-bow, bye-bow!"  Most likely, he loves it because there are so many pages and so many bright pictures, but it doesn't really matter to me.  I just love that he is interested and listens to the stories.

As if that weren't enough to make my heart burst, Ben also really loves to pray.  He folds his hands at the dinner table before Tim and I even have a chance to sit down.  As soon as we say "Amen," Ben does the sign for "more."

Each night I ask that God will help Ben know how much he is loved by us and loved by the Lord, and that God will give Ben a soft, obedient heart that will accept Him someday.

Now I'm praying that Ben will always love talking to Jesus and reading his B-I-B-L-E as much as he does right now.  What a sweet blessing his tender little heart is to his Daddy and me.
