Just one more reason to love HOD

Post by holyhart » Mon Aug 08, 2011 5:25 am

This morning while I was down stairs having my bible/prayer/devotion time, my dd8 (Bigger) came down to go potty. She normally goes back upstairs to her room and reads a little from her bible. Before going up though she told me she left it in the van and since Daddy took the van to work today she couldn't read it this morning. So I told her that was fine and that she just still needed to be quiet upstairs so as not to interupt my quiet time and not to wake up her brothers and sister.

A few minutes later, I hear her sweet little voice singing Amazing Grace. She then went on to sing O For a Thousand Tongues. Hearing her sweet voice singing these powerful hymns this morning just filled this Mama's heart with joy. She told me when she came back down that even though she couldn't read the bible didn't mean she couldn't still praise the Lord.

Evelyn and I have both so loved learning the hymnes scheduled in Bigger this year. What a blessing it really has been.

Thank you HOD for giving my daughter another way to praise her Lord! I just keep tearing up at the love of the Lord she is developing, and I know much of that is from things learned in HOD. I can't thank you enough Carrie and Julie for answering the call that the Lord place on your lives.

That's so sweet - the Lord must have loved it too! :D Thank you for your encouragement, Kelly. Carrie and I are going to be researching/planning for the next guide for the next 5 days, and your words here help fuel our tanks for this task. God is so good to provide ladies like you in our lives!!! :D

That is such a sweet story! :) If I had to pick one favorite thing about my daughter doing Bigger last year it would be all the hymns that she learned and hearing her going about the house singing them without even thinking about it. That little box in the guide was so simple and yet so great! :D

I probably could have named this threa "101 reasons to love HOD"....I'm sure I could come up with that many! :D

But here is #2. Last night my dd8 was looking through some of her school books and said "Mama, when I grow up, I want to use this curriculum to teach my children with. i think it is the best there is Can you save it for me for when I'm a mama?" :lol:

I love that she thinks it's the best there is even though she has never experience any other curriculum! And I love that she obviously loves what she is learning though! Makes those frustrating times worth it when you hear things like that! :D
