Bed Rest Diaries: Bible Story Time

     In the beginning of September, after much conviction I felt that it was time for Colton to have a period of structured Bible learning time everyday.  The Lord had pressed it upon my heart to begin building the spiritual foundation within his beloved child.  So it began.  I set no particular curiculum up (which is against my nature) we just began spending an hour a day listening to children's worship music, reading stories from the bible, and creating fun art projects.  It was amazing to see how God began to truely bless this time we spent together and how much Colton was soaking in the love and knowledge of him.    Once bed rest began to become a normal part of my routine, I was determined to not give up doing Bible Story Time.  For the month of December we worked on learning about and creating each character in the Nativity Story.  We practiced learning each person's name, what good qualities and characteristics God saw in each person,  and what we can learn from each of them today.
