LHFHG verse application for mommy!
Posted: Wed May 07, 2008 8:20 am
I was able to show DD why we learn those verses in LHFHG since this week she's complaining she doesn't want to learn it because it's too long.
Our verse for the week is Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He shall direct your paths."
Yesterday we were at our local grocery store and it was time to check out. So I dug into that special place in my bag that I hold my keys which also contains one of those store cards attached. That's when I realized that the keys weren't there. So I did a frantic search of my diaper bag. Still nothing. So I decided to retrace our steps thinking maybe DS got them out to play with. About halfway through our retracing, I remembered the verse this week. So we stopped, said a little prayer asking God to help us trust that He would direct us to where to look for the keys. I decided to do another calmer search of my diaper bag. And low and behold, there they were in another outside pocket. Later, DD and I were able to discuss the situation and what would have happened if I didn't find the keys. Then I was able to explain that because I had learned many Bible verses, I was able to remember them to help us during our every day life. I'm not sure she's entirely convinced yet, but she did stop to pray this morning to have God help her find her drawing that she lost.
Thanks Carrie for helping us make those connections for our kids!
