Last week one of the neighbor girls had a birthday and invited our kids over for a little party. They (of course) went, but before they left my son came to me and asked if he could give a Bible to the birthday girl if her mother said it was okay. I was surprised by his request, but of course I said YES!

   I was surprised and embarrassed because it should have been me that thought of giving it to them but it wasn’t. It was my nine-year-old son reminding me to look for and take any and all of the opportunities that we’re given to share. He wrapped it up along with the little bracelet they bought for her and took it over.

   The mother said yes about presenting the Bible to her daughter and the kids went through with the plan. When the birthday girl opened the present she was so excited to receive the Bible and showed it to the other two girls at the party. They each wanted one and after asking their parents permission, the kids also gave them The Bible. It seems that one of the girls hasn’t put it down since and has been reading from it every day.

We wait anticipating what God will do through His words and the faithful work of a nine-year-old boy!
