They still know it!

Yes I know it is still early and it is only one verse...a really long verse....but this morning when I woke the kids up I asked them to quote Luke 4:16. And they both did with out much hesitation. Mason hurried around to get ready so he could READ over his next verse. It had a few hard words in it but he barreled through it with out any whining I can't read this. I dropped Mason off at his class door and walked Madison to her class. Madison's teachers said she could read over her verses anytime she was finished with her work. She is always reading!!! She has read 2 chapter books in just the last 3 days. Her homeroom teacher said she could have a friend test her if they were finished with all their work. Wow we are bringing God's word into the school system!!! After I left Madison I dropped back bye Mason's room. His teacher met me at the door. She said Mason came in so excited this morning. He is already finished with his morning Reading worksheet. How What did we do to change his attitude?????? I told her that I had told him that if his teacher would let him....when he was finished with all his work....he could work on his quizzing memorization. But that he could not disrupt the class. He would just need to read over his verses to himself. She said he is able to do this at anytime and we pulled him out in the hall and talked about it with his teacher. He quoted his 1st verse to her. She stated WOW this could really build his self confidence and totally change his study skills. HMMMM where have I heard this before. I told her that bible quizzing is very important but that he knows if he is not getting his school work done he can't be involved. His teacher was amazed. I will leave this post with one last thought. Mason was singing in the shower this morning. At 1st i thought it was just cute and sweet, but after this mornings events unfolded all I can say is wow! Oh the song...... This little light of mine I'm gonna let it shine, Let it Shine let it shine.....Thanks Sis. Carmen for teaching our children this song with the extra verse.....All over Wichita Falls I'm gonna let it SHINE!!! Keep these children (all the quizzers) in your prayers that their minds just soak this up and that God uses them to be a witness to their friends and teachers in their CITY!
