Day 70 - her new bible

Every Thursday I spend some special time with one of the girls.  Today it was Calista's turn and she asked me to take her to a Christian bookstore nearby.  She had a mailer from that store and saw that there were some small bibles on sale.  She wanted to purchase one with some of the money she had saved.   She has a larger bible but she wanted one to keep with her and to carry in her Awana bag on Sundays.

It was fun to watch her decide between the different bibles.  She compared prices, versions and of course, colors.  I worked hard to keep my lips zipped so I wouldn't  influence her choice.  I couldn't believe how many times I caught myself getting ready to chime in.  Yikes!  

She chose a sweet little bible and spent the rest of the day carrying it around and reading it to her sisters.  Even now, several days later, it's still with her everywhere we go.
