Learning English...

Scripture Memory Verse of the Week:

Psalm 23:1

"The LORD is my Shepherd, I shall not want."

"Ok, let's practice..." I say while we're around the dinner table Sunday evening. Jana decides to go first. "The Lord I no want?" she makes her first attempt to learn the verse. To which James quickly and humorously replies, "You no want the Lord?!." Horrified, she responds "No! I mess up. I want Lord!"

Last night we told the kids we needed to see how much they weigh and measure how tall they are for our annual report. James jumps off the sofa and says, "I'll go get the weighster!"

I need to be better about writing down funny sayings as the kids learn English...

Meanwhile, James was the first one down for breakfast this morning (as usual) so I asked him to practice his Scripture verse. He said, "God is my pastor. He takes care of me." :) Good enough. He knows what it means. May we rest in His providential care...
