Another Crown for a Grandmother!

We have been pretty busy around here.  Watching grandchildren, so their parents can have a date night.  Or watching grandchildren, so their parents can go to the hospital to have their newest sibling, plus having another grandchild, so they can go to work.  Then, we headed into Thanksgiving week.  Whew.  We are bushed!  But blessed.

We had the whole family over for Thanksgiving, even if it was just for a little while.  I was excited to get a picture of our complete family--that is 4 generations!!

Also, my daughter-in-law asked me if I would take pictures of the newborn baby!  How fun!!  I immediately started to research different poses, and how to do it.  She also added her input.  So, after most of the family left, we started in with the pictures.  How cute are they?  This is Adel:

And my favorite picture:

The Bible says, "Children's children are the crown of old men".  We now have 6 crowns.  :)



Blessings!

Review: NKJV Adventure Bible for Kids

This is a beautiful Bible!!  I love the bold, bright colors on the cover, as well as inside the Bible.  The different articles in the Bible are fun to read.  Here are some of the features:

• Life in Bible Times—Articles and illustrations describe what life was like in ancient days
• People in Bible Times—Articles offer close-up looks at amazing people of the Bible
• Let’s Live It!—Hands-on activities help kids apply biblical truths to their life
• Did You Know?—Interesting facts help kids understand God's Word
• Words to Treasure—Great verses to memorize
• Book introductions, a concordance, and 8 pages of full-color maps
• Available in Italian Duo-Tone and durable hardcover editions

The only thing I'm not sure about, whether I like, is the NKJV.  We are a KJV family, and I was under the understanding that they only removed the thee's and thou's.  It is more than that.  We love the KJV, and read out of it regularly as a family.  But, if I couldn't get a KJV, and I had to choose between a NKJV, or NIV, it would hands down be NKJV.  It is so hard finding a kids bible in the King James Version, but this Adventure Bible, in the New King James Version, comes in a close second.

I gave this Bible to our 11 year old son.  He does read out of this in the morning Bible reading times.  That is when we notice the differences.  I do know that he loves this Bible, and will read out of it, just for fun!  I'm happy to have him in God's Word!!!  He enjoys all the little extras included in this Bible.

One thing I like, is that it has a small paragraph on how to care for the Bible.  I don't think many people know how to care for a new Bible.  Each new Bible needs to have the binding loosened, by pressing on a small section of pages at a time.  This helps Bibles to last.  I just wish this information was at the beginning of the Bible, and not right before the maps.  :)

I received this hardcover NKJV Adventure Bible free, from Book Look Bloggers, for my honest review.  The opinions were my own.  :)
