The Good Book

After I put the kids down for naps, I usually go in to check on them about 1/2 hour later, if for nothing else but to check what pose they've struck as they fell asleep.
Today, about 45 minutes after I put the kids to bed for naps, I heard Teagan singing and I went to her room annoyed and ready to discipline her when I caught her reading in bed. As I was geared up and ready to discipline her for her blatant civil disobedience, I noticed that she was reading her Bible.

She looked at me with droopy, tired eyes and said: "I'm reading and singing my Bible to God like you Mommy."

Sheesh...way to make a mother's heart melt right?!

I gave her 5 more minutes for her to finish her biblical obedience and time with God and then she really needed to go to sleep.

I love these moments that reassure me that at least I'm doing something right!
