"more bwerses pwease."

These are currently my favorite words in the English language! :o)

Since the day Jasper was born, he and I have read the bible together every morning (m-f) during breakfast. I'll read 5-10 verses of Scripture to him, explain what they mean, and then we'll pray and thank God for the Bible and thank Him for the truth that we learned that day (we also ask God to help us to obey His words since we can't do it in our own strength, etc, etc).

Recently, as soon as I get done praying, Jasper pipes up and says, "more bwerses pwease." aka "more verses please." I've prayed and prayed with Jasper and for Jasper that he would be a little boy who loves God and loves the Bible, and God is answering that prayer before my very eyes. And he's barely two years old. Oh my gracious, hearing Jasper ask to hear more Bible verses is the most sweet sound in the world to me and all the praise goes to God for doing this in Jasper's heart.

So after Jasper says, "more bwerses, pwease.", I read more verses, explain them to him, and we pray together. This last week, Jasper has just been asking and asking and asking for more bwerses. I love it!! Our breakfasts now last well over an hour and I'm reading verses, explaining them to Jasper, and praying with Jasper the entire time. We do this during breakfast and lunch and it's so precious to me to be spending so much time in the Bible with Jasper. I thank God for what He's done and continue to beg Him to save Jasper at a young age and grow him into a little boy and then a man who loves God and the bible with his whole heart.
