Faithful...even with the garage cans!

We finished unit 15 today...

D's memory verse was Matthew 25:21 "His master replied, 'Well done good and faithful servant you have been faithful with a few things; I will put you in charge of many things; come & share your master's happiness."

He memorized it and we talked about it each day (usually answering questions about specifics of the verse, what it means, how it applies to him). One day early last week, we talked about being "faithful" with the small things (jobs, responsibilities) we have to do so that we can be trusted with larger things (jobs, responsibilities). Yesterday, I asked him to take the garbage cans from the curb to the side of the garage after the trash truck came by. He was silent for a second, then told me (in a good attitude) that he didn't really feel like it, but that he would do it because he wants to be faithful. (WOW!) I thanked him and he took care of his "job." Daddy heard about it last night was in awe, too!

I thank God that He allows us to see glimpses of HIS WORD working in our children's lives. A moment like this gives me encouragement to be faithful in what He's called me to do right now...home school!
