Bible story

Quite a few months ago, Jon started telling Nate a Bible story every night at bed time. He started asking for them before nap time too, so I tell him one then, though I'm not as good a story teller. For the past several weeks (at least), Nate asks specifically for the story of Adam and Eve. (I think he likes the predictability of the same story each time.) He knows the story well now, and I tell it almost the same way each time, so he can complete some of my sentences.
  • We start the story with Genesis 1:1, which he has memorized: "In da beginning, God cweated da heavens and da earf!"
  • God decided that Adam needed a "help-Nate."
  • God told Adam and Eve not to eat from the tree of "knowledge of good and eeeevil."
  • After they ate the fruit, they realized they had sinned, and they were ashamed, which means they were "vewy vewy sad and guilty."

So cute!

Sooo great! I love that kids are so receptable to God's word through stories. I love all of his mis-speaks, thanks for sharing!
