Eight Year Olds and Vocabulary
Part of our evening wind-down when our children were small was settling in for a time of Bible reading together. They enjoyed this time as much as I did, and we all learned so much. There’s something about studying the Bible with young children that can open your eyes to His Word in refreshing new ways.
For example, when our youngest was eight years old, I will never forget the night that we were studying Ezekiel. We were covering the part where Ezekiel says that he didn’t have the words to describe all that he saw in his vision of Heaven. Our son was so frustrated! As he left the room to go brush his teeth and get ready for bed, he turned back to me, shoulders slumped and a sad look on his face, and said, “Mom, I hope the next person that God shows Heaven to has a bigger vocabulary!”
Out of the mouths of babes, indeed.
