a book for the kids

A few months ago I ran across a special deal at Picaboo for a free classic custom photo book.  All I had to pay was shipping.  I knew right away what kind of book I wanted to make.  I was inspired months ago by the book my friend Andrea made, along with a discussion in my bible study of teaching our kiddos bible verses to live by. 

So I created this book and gave it to the kids for Easter...













The kids LOVE it!  They have already memorized and made a few of these applicable in daily life all on their own.  There is nothing sweeter than hearing our two precious kiddos quote God's word and begin to really understand how to use it in their lives.

Thanks for this cute idea Andrea!

I love this idea-I am going to try to do it for my grandchildren! I was wondering if you had an update on Hernan? I can't get him out of my mind-so many prayers need to go up for him- is he a Christian?
