Tuesday: Living Literature

This morning, right after our family devotions, we all sat around the living room couch, and enjoyed a story hour. Each of us Children, including the "Graduated Girls," had chosen a favorite short story from one of the many Literature books we own, and we all took a turn reading them out loud. Selections ranged from, simple stories about performing birds, to a chapter from "Pride and Prejudice." Faith Ann's choice was a touching story about how Beethoven came to write his famous Moonlight Sonata, and Grace got us all laughing with the humorous story of "The Night the Bed Fell."

Mom is very thankful that we all have such a love for reading. But of course the 'Best of Books' should always be at the top of our list. God chose to use words to give us His law, they are a powerful form of communication. Unfortunately many writers choose to use them in an ungodly way. So we must always be careful of what we are reading.
