Amen!!

It's funny to watch, or rather listen to Rebekah begin to communicate with us. You really don't know how observant babies are until they begin to communicate and we start to understand what they are saying. Bekah is an absolute parrot! That is to say she mimicks everything she hears! She will try to repeat the last word of every sentence I say, no matter if she's heard the word before or not. And any word that we say with emphasis or volume becomes the word of the day. I've already realized that she knows the words "toot" and "pooh" as in Winnie the Pooh (but no doubt she understands its alternative meaning) and has blurted them out in church. But what was more encouraging is that she is now mimicking the word "Amen" whenever we give thanks at a meal or during our family devotional time. And as soon as we sit down to eat, she starts to say "pay, pay, pay" (meaning pray) and folds her hands. Its very heartwarming to see her learning what we value as important in our family. Now comes the more difficult part of raising her to value the things of the Lord as well. What a challenge and blessing it is to be a parent. Amen!! :)
