One of those awesome moments

Andrew has been attending St Paul pre school this year in the 4 year old class.  It is a Lutheran pre school and we have been very happy with all that he has learned this year in class.  For instance when he started, he had no idea how to write his name.  Just two months after starting pre school, he was able to write his name.  I know that the ladies who teach there are really preparing my son for Kindergarten in a couple years.  He is also gaining a better understanding of who Jesus is and what He means to us as Christians.  The other day Andrew grabbed the Bible off of John's bed side table and was "reading" it.  I told him that we have a Bible for him in his room on his book shelf so I went and got it for him.  He kept insisting on reading mommy and daddy's Bible.  He was laying on the loveseat "reading" and I asked him if he wanted to go outside with daddy to work.  He responded no I want to stay in and read the Bible.  He then said, we read the Bible to spread God's word, right mommy?  Of course I was surprised when he said this and my heart filled with pride and joy.  I said why yes Andrew we do!  I know that we have had conversations with him about this recently and he is one to not forget too much.  It was such a great feeling to know that we are raising our child to love God and know who Jesus is.
