This is my first post on my label "Everyday talk." "Everyday talk" was inspired by a few of my favorite books, Everyday Talk by John A.younts, Shepherding a Child's Heart by Tripp, Instructing a Child's heart by Tedd Tripp, A Mother's heart by Jean Flemming and best of all Dueteronomy chapter six by God.
Anyway, I was challenged by all of these authors to make the most of my everyday conversations with well...everyone, but especially my boys. So with that said, I am writing down ways we tend to talk about the Truths of Scripture and the Truths about God.
We stopped for lunch at chic-fil-a on our way back from KY and Elijah was arguing with me about something extremely insignigicant, and I told him he should be a lawyer. He asked me and kevin, "What's a lawyer." Well how do you describe a lawyer to a four year old. We fumbled for a second and then said,
"you know Elijah, how God has rules that we are to obey?"
"yes"
"Well God's rules are the most important rules there are but there are other rules we are suppose to follow too."
"the state of Ga has rules, and the whole united states has rules we have to follow or we will be disciplined if we don't, and a lawyer helps you if you get into trouble or if you are blamed for something you did not do. "
i hope this is a challenge to myself to speak of God at ever possible moment....
