My Special Mother (Year 2)

So last year, I posted Garrett's fill in the blank story about me for Mother's Day. 2010 brings another story and some different answers!! Love this!!

My Special Mother
My mother is the most wonderful mom in the world!
She's as pretty as a butterfly and as sweet as
ice cream. She weighs 20 lbs and she's 30 ft. tall.
My mom is 30 years old. Her favorite food is steak
and her favorite color is pink.
Her favorite animal is a dog. She likes to shop
when she has time and is crazy about pink cars.
In the good old days when mom was little she liked to
play with Barbies. I think mom looks funny when
she has a towel on her head. I know she's really
mad when she catches me doing something wrong.
I wish mom would swim with me everday. I
wouldn't trade my mom for a dragon.
Love,
Garrett

Book Review: God's Promises for Boys








God's Promises for Boys by Jack Countryman & Amy Parker

I received this book free from Thomas Nelson Publishers as part of their booksneeze.com book review blogger's program. I was not required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
Each devotion and bible verse expressed in this book is very easy for young readers to listen to and understand. It's simple answers for some complicated and even happy times in a young boy's life. It's promises with each verse are a way to help boys see the need for God in their lives and how He is there for every situation. God cares about everyone and everything.
The illustrations on each page make the book very inviting. I love the verses quoted from the International Children's Bible. Not only are the verses easy to read but they are easy for young reader's to understand and for parents to help explain to their children. Each lesson is easy and perfect for kids with short attention spans.
I would highly recommend this book as a daily devotion for boys.
