Ms. Manners


In an earlier post, I was bragging on Isabelle and how she has started saying "thank you Mommy." We have been trying to teach her things like "please", "thank you", "excuse me", "I'm sorry" and such. We also sing songs like "Jesus loves me" and when I pray with her at night we always thank God for Jesus.


We were doing a little shopping at Goodwill today, and Isabelle wanted something and I said, "what do you say?" Then she says "scuse me, Jesus". I think she's got things a little mixed up, but I'm glad those words are part of her vocabulary. Come to think of it, maybe she's got things figured out better than I thought. :)



Matthew 18:3: And he said: "I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven."



PS-Don't get me wrong. My child is no perfect angel. Just five minutes before saying "excuse me, Jesus" she was having a little screaming fit and not being very nice to her Mommy. I think she needed to repent. :)

Cute story! I crack up sometimes at what my two will come up with, especially when they are talking to each other. I've heard Hailey tell Jack that God only hears us when we say prayer (she was trying not to get in trouble!) He told her she shouldn't say 'potty words' because God doesn't like that. I told her He was bigger than Santa and could see and hear EVERYTHING!!!

That is a very cute story! Whitney and I are teaching Hailey's Wed night class and she told Holly God was "bigger than the biggest giant". And Holly just whispers "Wow!".
