Then it started one day, when Al woke up, Al asked me ,
"Mama will you read me the Bible" ? This was something that made sleep unimportant to me, so no matter what time it was, I would say sure Al and get my Bible and flip it open randomly and read it to Alec. He loved it, and would listen very intently no matter how long the passage was that I chose. I would choose versus that he could somewhat understand (although I now know, he understood them more than me), and one of our favorites that I found was the one below;
(Sirach 27:12)
When you find yourself with stupid people, look for some excuse to leave.
We laughed so much at this one, not expecting words like these to be in the Bible, Al thought it was hysterical. I think this was one of his favorite Bible verses!
Al truly enjoyed me reading God's word to him, he craved it and needed it, this was something I would never deny Al -- no matter how tired.
It was so special to both of us.
