Big Church

The pages are edged in pink, and we inscribed her name on the inside cover.

If ever there was a way to instill a love of God's word in a three-year-old girl, this Bible is it.

We bought it for her to celebrate a milestone. Much to Abby's delight, she's graduated from little kid Sunday School to elementary Sunday School, and gets to spend the first part of the service each Sunday sitting with mom and dad in "big church."

Sunday mornings truly are a little taste of heaven for her now. Pink Bible. Big kid Sunday School. Mom and Dad all to herself. Standing on chairs. Singing her favorite hymns. Loudly.

As with any new privilege, there are a few new rules to learn as well. For instance, when the pastor bows his head and says "Let us pray," we're going to need to remind her that she doesn't need to start praying out loud as soon as everyone is quiet.

Church just got a lot more exciting.
