I have begun to flesh out the book Be ~ Biblical Wisdom for Children. How was it done, you wonder?
\nVery simply. It might seem morbid, but I thought about what I would want to leave my kids, if I was
\ngoing to die tomorrow. What key Biblical truths did I want them to remember? I wanted it to be in
\nan active voice, and I wanted my kids to just “BE.”<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
After a lengthy Bible study, I pulled all my verses into a Word document. I had a couple of pages
\nof verses. From here, I cut out the ones that were similar. I chose the ones I resided most with,
\nor the ones that could be unpacked with more instruction. Everything I chose had to pertain to
\nBiblical Wisdom.\u00a0 When I got the amount down to a reasonable amount, I let these just “sit.” I gave
\nmyself a couple of weeks, so I could come back to the table and look at it with fresh eyes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Next, I opened my ideas up to my husband. He wanted me to include the idea of “Be Empowered,”
\nand he thought of the ant analogy. Being empowered has been something that we have been
\ndiscussing for over a year, so the idea was relevant, and it had a lot of spiritual meaning for both of us.
\nI don’t know why it never popped into my mind, but it again proves how helpful it is to bounce ideas
\noff of others.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The process of developing content seems easy when typed out, but it does require a fair amount of work.
\nIt also requires a good amount of study. Typical, I find that few people give much thought to their legacy,
\nand, for me, everything about Be ~Biblical Wisdom for Children deeply pertains to a legacy mentality. I
\nwant my children to have a deep relationship with God, and I believe the Bible has a lot of wisdom to it.
\nNot only do I reflect on these verses for Biblical Wisdom, but I hope my children do too.<\/p>\n
