blessings

At lunch today, Emma began to say thank you to God for our food. I love to hear how her prayers and her understanding have begun to evolve. A year ago, she would say thank you for Jesus. Six months ago, she began saying thank you for Jesus and that He died on the cross. As of the last week her prayer has been, "Thank you God for Jesus and that He died on the cross to save us from our sins."

My prayer is that she and all my girls would fully understand the gravity of that statement. That they would ask Him to do just that. That He would be their Redeemer, Saviour and Friend. And that Jason and I would realize that the best way for her to come to a saving knowledge of Christ, is to talk the talk and also walk the walk before her.

What an awesome responsibility He has entrusted to us!

Ok, we have a kids bible for Carson and it's the BEST one we have ever read. It totally makes us cry when we read it to him. It tells about how everything in the Bible is really about Christ! It's called the Jesus Filled Storybook Bible.
