Our little Bible scholar

Elijah and I were listening to one of our music cds while driving to the mall last week, and a song with the chorus, "Sing hosanna, sing hosanna, sing hosanna to the king of kings," came on (referring to Jesus' entry into Jerusalem, which coincidentally was our lesson this week in BSF from Matthew 21). Elijah shouted from the back seat, "Just like in my Bible!" I thought for a second and remembered this page from his toddler Bible:


Eli was right and remembered the story and the word "hosanna" that was in his Bible!

Later that same day as we were reading Eli's Bible and the story of the Last Supper, the Bible mentioned Peter getting the food ready. Eli said, "Peter with Jesus in the boat! Story at BSF!" Three weeks before at BSF the Bible story the kids heard was about Peter and Jesus in the boat and Jesus and Peter walking on water. I was shocked that Eli remembered that story so many weeks later! Especially since that story isn't in his little illustrated toddler Bible. And he even remembered and recognized Peter's name! Eli's turning in to my little Bible scholar!
