Stars, Smiles,and A Sleepy Boy

Tonight at family devotional, our verse was Psalm 96:1 "Oh, sing to the Lord a new song! Sing to the Lord, all the earth." After reading the story and lesson from our current devotional book, God's Amazing Creatures and Me by Helen Haidle, I asked Isaac "Do you praise God when you get up in the morning?" He replied "My heart does". Oh, the smile that brought to my face! Even if we are not singing out loud, we can praise God with our hearts! Ethan must have been exhausted because the poor little guy fell asleep at the table during devotional. Before going to bed, Isaac asked me to read his current favorite bedtime story, Mommy's Little Star. It is a really cute story about a curious little fox who wants to know how high the sky goes. I love spending precious time with my boys! I am so thankful that God has blessed me with these two boys to raise, and I pray that they will follow Him as they grow and become men.
