Learning To Read

She sits nestled in her comfy chair, a book cradled in her hands. Her golden hair catches the light as her eyes trace each word with wonder. Though the page is small, the world it opens is endless—castles rise, oceans roar, and adventures unfold, all within her quiet corner of the room. At her side rests a beloved teddy bear, patiently keeping watch over this sacred voyage of imagination.
There is a holiness to beginnings like this—the first steps into a world of stories, knowledge, and imagination. With every page turned, she not only learns letters and words but begins to glimpse the power of truth, beauty, and wisdom. It is a tender reminder that growth is often found in the simplest of practices, one word at a time.
“Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” — Proverbs 22:6
