When it comes to Brett's spiritual growth, we are so pleased with his sweet spirit and eager heart for the Lord. Brett happily folds his hands to pray with us, and often requests to pray again. Mommy and Daddy both laughed the other night when Westley (the cat, also known as "Bubby") jumped up on a chair and Brett said, "Bubby pray? Bubby pray?" He almost always shouts out a resounding "A-MEN!" after we're all done.
Brett also enjoys reading a story from his picture Bible, and identifies characters. This week he said "Baby Moses, basket" and "Pharaoh." Yesterday morning, we broke our usual routine of a breakfast-time devotion to sit on the couch with coffee (me) and chocolate milk (Brett), and read our Bibles together. After that, Brett enjoyed a few minutes of Veggie Tales. Not sure how much of the videos are sinking in quite yet, but he sure loves Bob (hence the pic)!
Oh, Brett also has a little Baby Jesus from his Christmas manger scene, which he loves to carry everywhere he goes. Baby Jesus always sleeps in bed with Brett, and sometimes shares in breakfast too. Last night he got to participate in our toothbrushing ritual. Whenever Baby Jesus is missing, Brett forlornly calls out "Baby Dee-us? Baby Dee-us?" It makes me melt.
Quite possibly my favorite little spiritual moment so far was when we were listening to a praise music CD, and on it someone read a scripture: "The Lord regins, let the Earth be glad..." to which Brett joyfully responded, "A--MEN!"
So. Darn. Precious. :)
