God’s Great Story

Dog-Eared Mommy

I recently picked up a book my son was reading and flipped through it, noticing that a number of pages were folded down. Curious, I asked him why he did it.

“Because those are all my favorite parts,” he responded.

He’s a boy after my own heart because I do the same thing. I dog-ear and mark up my books so I can go back and reread my favorite parts. In some books though, there are no pages folded down. In those books, I found myself editing as I read, thinking of ways I would have written it differently, parts I would have added and scenes I would have deleted altogether.

    Thanks for this! We usually include God’s story from creation to redemption as part of our Christmas readings. It makes a lot more sense to start in Genesis when teaching kids about Christ’s birth and why He was sent to earth. At least it helps me remember and understand better :)
