Books, I love reading to my children

Here I am again, over a month later!! Well whats my excuse this time? Just life I guess. Been thinking about alot of things I want to share though. Epesially when I wake at night, I start thinking of things I want to post, ( night is my best time to think!!) then come morning, I either forget till the next night, or just plain get too busy!!



This time my post is about books that I love to read to the children. I just love reading to the children so much. But for me it has to be material that is edifying, encouraging, uplifting, character building, instilling Godly principals, and so on. Yes, I know finding books like that can be very hard. Here I will share the books that I have and love , and a source where you can purchase them from Mennonite and Amish Pulishers.



My very first top chocie to read to them is the Bible!! Just love reading to them from the Bible. Of cource depending on the ages of children there is so much in the Bible that may be over thier heads at the time, but yet there is so much that they can understand, and you can explain the areas that they may not . At first that's what held me back from reading, I was thinking isn't this just wasting my time, they are to young to even know whats being read. But its the fact that they see you read it, and they see what is importian to you. And soon they will be understanding the word and gaining a love for hearing it. Your setting an example to them that will effect them for life!! Now we all look forward to our morning Bible reading time before starting school. The ages of mine right now are 9, 7 , 4 1/2, and 2. Its never to young to start reading God's word to them.



Here is a list of other books I am curently reading , the authors names, and a brief desription of each.



Story Time With Grandma by Mary Elizabeth Yoder

Character -building stories from everyday life and form the Bible make Story Time With Grandma a superlative teaching aid. Every page breathes fresh insights and truths for young listeners and readers too. Every story abounds in wit and wisdom clothed in childhood actions.



More Story Time With Grandma by Mary Elizeabeth Yoder

This book offfers more character-building stories from a grandmother. The author told many of these stories to her own children, stories from her own childhood, could-have-happened stories, stories of good times and bad- all are about familes and children and the importiant lessons they learned.



A Hive of Busy Bees by Effie M. williams

In a time when virtue and character seem almost old-fasioned, it is refreshing to find a little book of character-building stories. ( I would have to say this is both mine and the childrens top favorite book. It is so goood, and such wonderful and powerful lessons learned)



Mario a Belizean Boy by Elizabeth Wagler



Some more books I have but not read yet are,
Little Pete and Other Stories,
The Adventures Of Rusty and Ryan
A Horse Called Willing.



All of these are full of character-building and instilling Godly princpals.



All these I ordered at Christain Light Publications. The web site is http://www.clp.org/. They also have so many more wonderful books available like these. So worth your time to sit down and read.

Another source for books like this kind can be found at Rod & Staff Publishers, INC. They don't seem to have a web site, but thier phone number is (606) 522-4348. You can phone a request a free catalog.

If any any of my readers have books the you love reading to your childen please leave a comment and mention them. I am intersted in hearing of more good books!!
The time we take to read to our children is so worth while, and can be so powerful. So take a moment in your busy day and just sit and read and enjoy your self!! Your children will love you for it!!

Well untilll next time, In Christ Mae
