This Week's Mustard Seed

Today I'm linking up with Jennifer and Rebecca for Mustard Seed Planting. Rebecca and Jennifer have inspired me to be more intentional about learning God's word and MEMORIZING God's word as well. I'm starting with baby steps, which essentially for me is a longer Bible study time with my children and memorizing verses with them.

Over the past month we have been working our way through the book of Acts. I am ashamed to say I had never read through that book before, until now. We are learning so much, and what is sticking with my children is Paul's transformation and his fervent spread of the gospel during his journeys.

I thought this was pretty cute. In our Bible it said something about Paul being a "man of action". My six year old piped in "MOM! PAUL WAS A VERB!" We laughed so hard. But he's right, isn't he? Paul was a verb and shouldn't we all be a verb - a verb for God?

Out of the mouths of babes....

Thanks for the reminder that we all should be "doing" for God! I love it that kids just say what they think. Thanks for visiting me at A Season for All Things. I'm your newest follower (and fellow homeschooler)! I look forward to reading more of your posts. ~ Ellen

"Paul was a verb!" How perfect!! What a sweet heart your boy has! Some of my 6 year-old's moments really get me too! :-)

Absolutely! I love the idea of us being verbs for God! That IS what He wants us to be!

I love it! Children are so smart. I am also trying to become more diligent about learning Gods word for myself. I often focus on the kids and what they are doing during bible, that I often forget that I need to focus myself. What Bible study are you using with the kids right now?
