Susan and I are already teaching Susannah words and language and music and reading. We talk to her in non-baby language, we read to her and we sing often to her. She is getting used to it. I want to give Susannah the opportunity to be a reader and a future leader right from the start. That is the legacy my mother gave me from a very young age.
My mom read the bible to me from the time I was in her womb until she went to be with the Lord eleven years later, and I am doing the same for my daughter. We are reading the bible to her most every night. And the number of different bibles that are out there is wonderful. She read to me from the Living Bible, but I know some families have Catholic bibles and some families have King James Bibles and still others are reading the latest versions of the bible. We are reading from the New International Version of the bible to Susannah.
And while we read from the bible to her, we are instilling in her the very words of life. Two birds with one stone.
