First Bibles and Awanas

Gabriel, Sophia and Mary all started Awanas last week. In case you don't know Awanas is a non denominational Christian program for kids. Every week the kids have a new memory verse and a lesson to go along with it. Part of Gabe and Sophie's lesson is learning how to use the bible by finding their memory verses in it. So of course this led to their first grown up bibles! They were super excited. Sophie of course wanted a pink one with a fuzzy pink bible cover. Gabe wanted a bible with camo, but settled for a green one with a camo bible cover. They are both pretty sure that this means they are old enough to attend bible study with me in the summers, and that they don't need to go to Sunday school now since they have a bible like the grown ups :)

Sophie spent all evening trying to decide what color bible marker she would use to highlight John 3:16, her and Gabes memory verse for the week. Gabriel read about 3 chapters in John to me and then looked at me and said, "wow mom, God is busier then I thought. He teaches us about everything!"

Mary's memory verse is 1 John 4:8 ....God is love. So Sara and Mary have both been running around all week, "god is love, god is love.!" They make up songs to it etc. It really has been quite amusing.
