No Greater Joy

It gives me great joy to see my children walking in truth and speaking truth to one another.

Imagine my thrill when I overheard my precious 9 year old call out to his younger brother. "Hey, I want to share a scripture with you!"

It was such a proud parent moment.

The precious 9 yr old had been reading his one-year Bible faithfully as a part of his daily homeschool routine. Finally, I thought, he has begun to internalize the timeless truths of God's Word. As the Holy Spirit spoke through the written word, my son must have been so overwhelmed with the power, the majesty, the beauty of God's Word that he just couldn't contain himself. His only response was to worship God and proclaim the word to his little brother.

I listened intently from the other room.

"Listen to this," says precious. "Make her drunk, for she has defied the Lord. Let Moab wallow in her vomit;" (Jer 48:26)

Hysterical laughter from the other room. They are literally rolling on the floor.

Sigh.

Who needs "Captain Underpants" when you have the Holy Word of God.

Evelyn HATES Captain Underpants. I mean REALLY hates.
