Yesterday afternoon, Sarah Beth and Daniel went upstairs. They were very quiet, so I decided I should go check on them. They don't usually get into trouble when they are quiet; as a matter of fact, if they're quiet, they're usually okay. It's when they start fussing with each other that I have to break it up.
Anyway, I sneaked (snuck?) upstairs, and this is what I found.
Both Sarah Beth and Daniel were sitting on her bed "reading" books. As I watched, Daniel reached for another one, but it was too far away. So Sarah Beth handed it to him (sharing!!!). I just had to sneak back downstairs to get the camera to take this picture. I love seeing my children "reading," and I try to encourage it. They have lots and lots of books to look at, and when they want me to read to them, I try to drop what I'm doing for that. There are times when I will read to them for half an hour or more before I tell them "enough!"After a love for Jesus, is there anything better than a love of reading?

Amen! That was a grea "find" and you did a great job capturing the pic to go with it.
I went through the boys books today and sorted them.......there were over 300! Many of them they have outgrown and will be put in the spring yard sale.
Blessings!
Cute picture! Isn't it so great when they play nicely together? I wish it happened all of the time at my house!
I agree with you totally.. the love of Jesus, then Love of reading!
Thanks for sharing...
