We have been doing daily devotions with our children in the evening, as part of their routine before going to bed. Christian may be a little young yet, for he seems to be disinterested and easily distracted, but Ava is soaking it all in. The devotions only end up being about a paragraph long and then a short prayer, but she interrupts us about 10 times throughout the paragraph, trying to make sense and give us examples that she thinks may apply. It is pretty cute and we love seeing her mind turning and working the way it is.
So the other night, the devotional was about giving to the Lord and being happy about it. It says, 'some Bible people had a lot of money, they had more than they needed. Other Bible people didn't have enough money to buy food and clothes. The people who had more than they needed, shared their money.'
So after this, we discussed with her about how it is to tithe too and how God says we should share the things he gave us with others.
The next night, my mom came over to stay. She was letting Ava go through her purse. Ava found some change, in her change purse and she said, "Nana, the BIBLE says when you have money you should give it to people who Need money. You have lots of money here and we need money for Disney, so can we have this?" I think she missed the point, don't you?? We may still have a little more work to do on that lesson. At least my mom found it funny. :)
