Overheard.....

We have been learning much about Moses the last few weeks, as we've read the first five books of the Old Testament which he authored. He was truly an incredible man and had such a unique relationship with God, in that God spoke to him face to face. In and of itself, that's pretty amazing.

We weren't quite to this point yet in our group reading last week when one of the older children let it slip that Moses would not be allowed to enter the promised land. Little Man (age 5) got this horrified look on his face and asked again to confirm, "you mean Moses does not get to enter the promised land?" When I said "yes", his little face crumpled up and he began to sob. He was so sad for Moses! It was cute and sweet and sad all at the same time.

Yesterday during our Bible reading time, Little Man suddenly looked up with a beaming face, and said:

"Moses did get to go to the Promised Land, because heaven was his Promised Land!"

Sis, reading your post made me think of that wonderful verse: "I have no greater joy than to know my children are walk in truth."

And this Auntie has great joy, too, knowing her niece and nephews walk in truth!

Much love, Deb
