Language is such a huge gift that God has given us. I begin every school year the same as I did in all my years of teaching reading and writing...with a question.
Do you think God is interested at all in language? Do you ever wonder if He thinks good reading habits are important to attain?
Of course the answer is YES! He spoke with words and talked to Adam in the garden in the very beginning of it all! It is so exciting to see the emphasis our Heavenly Father placed on these skills. He has inspired the most popular book to be written for our encouragement and understanding. It is so much about who God is! As we practice reading and writing, we are enhancing a part of us that pleases the Father so that our communication with Him and the people He created becomes more effective.
