new Bible for Coby

Coby got a new Bible today. He has been "reading" his other Bible every night, but it was not easy for a five year old to understand. So, I've been telling him that we'll go get him one that is more age appropriate. He has been looking forward to getting his new Bible for days now.

He is so excited about his new Bible! In fact, while we were outside playing this afternoon he wanted to sit down with me and read it rather than play with Connor and Cale. So, read it we did! It starts from the beginning (just as any other Bible does of course) with God creating the earth...night, day, birds, flowers, etc. He kept stopping me by saying, "Wait, wait, wait, how did God create the flowers? How did He create elephants?" His questions went on and on. He was SO interested and wanted to truly understand how God was able to create every thing.

After a while, Coby asked me where is Jesus?
Me: Well, we haven't got that far yet.
Coby: But what about Christmas? That is His birthday, right?
Me: Yes, He IS alive and His birthday IS Christmas, we just haven't got to that part in the Bible just yet.

I am so happy that Coby wants to learn more about Jesus and truly understand God's Word. There is nothing in this world that matters more.
