This is one more sign from God for me to get my butt in gear. <BR/><BR/>When my 3 year old was 11 months old, if you asked "Who made you?" she would throw both arms up and say, "GOD!" It was the most precious thing.Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11264845015930907294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32024354.post-10864975702207784592008-06-11T14:57:00.000-07:002008-06-11T14:57:00.000-07:00While we haven't done any catechism - though it mi...While we haven't done any catechism - though it might be a good idea - I have taken advantage of my preschoolers' great memories and we do Bible passage memorization. Right now we are working on part two of 1 John 4, and before that, my 3 and 5 year old daughters memorized Psalm 8. I realized that it might be a good idea to do Bible memory with them when I was memorizing Philippians and my then 3 year old oldest daughter started prompting me when I faltered!Angela Fehrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14348875452757012357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32024354.post-39120580818030124742008-06-11T14:51:00.000-07:002008-06-11T14:51:00.000-07:00Awesome!

(we use a A Catechism for Boys and Girls that's included in a memory notebook that several people in our church use). Anna asked me once after the 25 and 26th questions..."What was the sin of our first parents? (eatig the forbidden fruit) "Why did they eat the forbidden fruit?" (B/C they did not believe what God had said) Anna asked, "Why did they WANT to eat the fruit, mommy?" Then followed that with "Mommy, would YOU have eaten that fruit?" Ohhh, out of the mouths of babes. Aren't you thankful for a PERFECT Savior? Let's keep catechizing them and growing ourselves!<BR/>Love you,<BR/>KellyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32024354.post-40145787109468282062008-06-11T12:57:00.000-07:002008-06-11T12:57:00.000-07:00I've never seen the catechism set to music.

We use the Catechism for Young Children, too, using the Truth and Grace (TAG) books also from www.founders.org .We LOVE the TAG books. <BR/><BR/>I like the Baptist Catechism which Jim Orrick set to music. You wouldn't believe how many of those i know just from having it playing in the background all day. There's something comforting and soothing to me about it. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, great post!Julohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17820423652844135856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32024354.post-74299171677729704372008-06-11T08:21:00.000-07:002008-06-11T08:21:00.000-07:00We need to get back to doing this.

We use Big Truths for Little Kids (Hunt) and really enjoy it. We did it at bedtime. I think I'll go get it out right now so we can start up again. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for stopping by my blog!Grateful for Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429985486466317061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32024354.post-70279332832203782008-06-11T06:05:00.000-07:002008-06-11T06:05:00.000-07:00Exactly, solagratia!

I'm amazed at how much they are able to learn and how they apply it at such an early age. It is also great for me when they ask me questions that are hard to answer--why can't we see God? Because God is a Spirit and does not have a body like men. It is nice having succinct, simple answer to point them to. <BR/>Thanks for sharing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
