Jesus Loves Me, This I Know

Last night, as I rocked my sweet little boy at bedtime, I remembered my mom, my grandpa, and my grandma doing the same thing with me so many years ago. I started with the first song I always sing, Baby Mine, which is from Disney's movie Dumbo. I followed Baby Mine with the first line of Jesus Loves Me, when Evan promptly started singing along with me. He got almost every word in the song! To hear your 2 year-old sing about Jesus' love is the most amazing thing. Even though I know Evan doesn't quite understand what the song is all about, I am confident that planting the seed of who Jesus is and that He loves each of us can never be done too early. When I tell him we are getting ready to go to church to play with the kids, he always says BIBLE!! He knows that when we go to church we learn about the Bible. This should be the goal of every Christian parent, to teach their children about Jesus from the day they are born.

Deuteronomy 11:13, 18-19 From now on if you listen obediently to the commandments that I am commanding you today, love GOD, your God, and serve him with everything you have within you...Place these words on your hearts. Get them deep inside you. Tie them on your hands and foreheads as a reminder. Teach them to your children. Talk about them wherever you are, sitting at home or walking in the street; talk about them from the time you get up in the morning until you fall into bed at night.
