Makenzie continues to amaze us daily.  She is so smart and always has something to say about everything.  Makenzie and I typically have breakfast together every morning before anyone else gets out of bed.  It’s a sweet time to talk – and yes, we actually have real conversations.  This morning, I pulled out my Bible to do our quiet time – we’re going through James.  Before I even started reading, she says, “It’s gonna be about Jesus.”  I looked at her and laughed and said “that’s right – the Bible is all about Jesus.”  It’s so much fun to see her starting to understand what we’re teaching her.

A few days ago, we were packing our bags to go to church.  Makenzie had her little purse and was putting her “Bible study” (that is what she calls her Bible) into it – she wants to be just like mom – Ha!  I asked her what does your Bible study say?  She responded quickly – “God loves me.”

Although Dustin and I teach her about the Bible at home, I’m so thankful for her Sunday school teachers that also spend time with her weekly, loving on her and explaining God’s love to her!  Thanks so much to Ms. Ashley and Mrs. Becky – I know you’re making an eternal impact on Makenzie, not only by what you teach, but through your actions.  We love you and Makenzie loves you!
