She's Always Listening

This was overheard while Abigail was playing with her babies this week.

Abi- you don't want to go to hell.
Baby doll- why?
Abi- because hell is a place that doesn't love God. I hope we go to heaven.
Baby- I hope so too.
Abi- you can't because you're a toy.
Baby- but I talk.







During family Bible time while the scripture was read aloud, Abi reminded us at she's always listening. This is what was read. Yes, it's not easily understood at first, but she made it a little more entertaining.

In the year that the commander in chief, who was sent by Sargon the king of Assyria, came to Ashdod and fought against it and captured it-at that time the LORD spoke by Isaiah the son of Amoz, saying, "Go, and loose the sackcloth from your waist and take off your sandals from your feet," and he did so, walking naked and barefoot. Then the LORD said, "As my servant Isaiah has walked naked and barefoot for three years as a sign and a portent against Egypt and Cush, so shall the king of Assyria lead away the Egyptian captives and the Cushite exiles, both the young and the old, naked and barefoot, with buttocks uncovered, the nakedness of Egypt. Then they shall be dismayed and ashamed because of Cush their hope and of Egypt their boast. And the inhabitants of this coastland will say in that day, 'Behold, this is what has happened to those in whom we hoped and to whom we fled for help to be delivered from the king of Assyria! And we, how shall we escape?'" - Isaiah 20:1-6

You probably already know that we heard the little girl giggle of a four year old, when she repeated "buttocks uncovered."

Another time Abigail responded to what she heard that wasn't so humorous to me -
She came running into the dining room looking excited and said, "Oh, you had a cheerful voice, I thought the Rinks must be here." That was convicting! I shouldn't have a cheerful voice only when my grandchildren are here.

She is taking to heart Psalm 78:1 -"Give ear, O my people, to my teaching; incline your ears to the words of my mouth!"
