Sniff, sniff

Noah read, How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight this evening. He obviously did this by memory. This is why we have them memorize scripture at such a young age, that is what their mind should be filled with.

Noahisms....

On our way home from Temple Saturday Noah says, "Mama can you please pick-up that cup?", Mama answers, "No sweetie I can't reach."...."Daddy can you get the cup?", "I can't, I'm driving."...."Jacob can you get it?, Abby can you get?, Joshua can you get it?, Noah can you get it?, Window can you get it?".....insert Noah giggling!
He is exceptionally funny lately.

Jacob's explanation of Matthew 13: 18-23

We have been reading this portion of Matthew this week for devotionals:

The Parable of the Sower Explained
18 "Hear then the parable of the sower: 19 When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it the evil one comes and snatches away what has been sown in his heart. This is what was sown along the path. 20 As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy, 21yet he has no root in himself, but endures for a while, and when tribulation or persecution arises on account of the word, immediately he falls away. 22As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the deceitfulness of riches choke the word, and it proves unfruitful. 23 As for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it. He indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty."

Jacob's explanation: "It is like this, like a rainbow. As we obey the Lord and do His will then the burden we are going through will fade away as we grow older. When we die our burdens will be completely gone and we will be with Jesus in heaven."

A question from Noah

"Daddy when are we going to the moon?", before Daddy has a chance to answer, "Oh, right, we can't go to the moon because we are not astronauts."
