Love Jesus Now!

I had great intentions of making this Passion Week meaningful for Lydia by reading a little piece of the Easter story every day out of her storybook Bible. (Which I highly recommend. It knits together how all of the Old Testament points to God's ultimate loving gift of Jesus. It's illustrated and written to be appealing to preschoolers and early elementary age children.) I also thought I'd incorporate a highly creative craft. Today, I read about 2 sentences of the chapter on Jesus' last Passover meal before Lydia decided she wanted to read the book herself. That would've been fine if she either knew the story or could read. Since she can do neither I found myself getting irritated and thinking, "No! You're ruining our beautiful religious education experience! Now be quiet and learn about God's love for you!" Sigh. Maybe tomorrow's time will be a little more productive. I'm trusting God to honor my efforts!
