A great day for Reagan...

Today we got to church and I was sitting there before the service started and I noticed in the bulletin that they were presenting bibles to rising 1st and 6th graders. I thought hmmm Reagan started 1st grade last week, I wonder if she will be getting one. I pointed it out to Darren and he said is she getting one, I shrugged my shoulders and said I dunno...... I really didn't think they would give her one because we aren't members of this church. We have been going there for 2 years and still haven't joined. Pathetic huh!

They had 6 to give out and she was number 5.... she walked up to the front of the church like she owned the place. She was so BIG!!! What an exciting day~ her 1st real bible!! She was pumped! When she got back to her seat she opened it up and started reading, the first page she read said
...

Hide God's word In your heart. Psalm 119:11 Paster Craig

She thought it was so cool that Craig would sign HER Bible, It put the biggest smile on her face. Darren and I feel so at home at this church and today was just one of the reasons why. Our family is a part of this church and this is where we belong.


I have someone sending me a picture of the whole group getting there Bibles and I will post that one when I get it.

I love your comment but you made me laugh b/c you misspelled her name! (I know you know how to spell her name and it was just a mistake.) :-)

Such a cute picture! And what a neat looking Bible. Sam has a cute, child-oriented daily devotional, but I'll have to look into the "Adventure Bible"!
