Most of you know that I love history. I love reading Bible Events because they are the history of God’s people. Over the years I have had many favorite Bible Events. I am going to share one of my favorites from when I was five years old and why in some respects it remains a favorite today.
When I was five, I had a baby brother about six months old. I loved the story of Baby Moses. I used to pretend that I was Miriam putting Moses in my Mom’s woven laundry basket in the river (our sidewalk). I then switched roles and was the beautiful princess who found him. I usually used my doll, but one day I decided to put my baby brother in the basket. My poor Mom almost had a heart attack when she realized I pulled him out of the crib, carried him downstairs and put him in the basket.
I loved that story because it was one I could relate, too. As a big sister, I could understand how Miriam most have felt when she knew her baby brother was in danger. Later as a Mom I could understand how very frightened Moses’ mom was. But I could also see how very much God loved that family, and how he had a plan for Moses which could not be fulfilled if he was murdered with all the other baby boys at that time.
