I got some great one on one time with many family members this last weekend, it was so precious! But one of these moments is unforgettable:) My niece asked if she could ride home with me from the Pumpkin Patch, only about a 20 minute ride if that. We were just talking away, like girls have the gift of doing, when God came up in conversation. I really don't remember how it happened, but it doesn't matter as far as I'm concerned, it happened!!!!!!!!! She is 6 years old and seemed to be holding very good conversation, so I began asking her questions about.....OH WAIT, I REMEMBER HOW IT CAME UP:) I was talking to her about my new house and how we have gotten to see dolphins, seals and whales and she said she's afraid of the ocean and all those animals. We talked more about whales and I asked her if she had heard the "Jonah and the Whale" story (Jonah 1:17), NO, Do you go to Sunday School, NO, Do you know what a Bible is, YES my brother gave me a Bible and I went to Vacation Bible School. OKAY, so now I knew we were getting somewhere...we kept talking and I finally asked her if she wanted to have Jesus in her heart and she said YES! She prayed with me and she was so happy, so I told her she needed to share this with her Grammie and what a site to see. When she shared this news with my Mom, I melted since it is because of my mom and my grammie that I love the Lord so much, so to see this Legacy passed on was so beautiful! Thank you Lord for such a precious moment. OH, BUT WAIT IT GETS BETTER! I was saying goodbye to everybody later and couldn't find my nephew...when I hollered up the stairs, my niece peeked around the railing and said they were busy because she was sharing with him about God! YOU GO GIRL!
I've always been one to not really have Faith that young children really do understand what they are being told and probably don't really accept Jesus into their hearts, BUT now I have solid evidence that they really do GET IT! Thank you Lord for showing me this beautiful soul and her glow of your JOY!
Anybody Can Be A Bride Today
We know a "Bride" as the beautiful woman at a wedding, but if you are confused by the use of the word "Bride" in this blog...this term is used because we should be living a life in constant preparation for His return just as a "Bride" is constantly preparing to get ready on her wedding day (Revelation 21). We do this by having a relationship with Jesus and living a life that is pleasing to Him. The Christian Church eagerly awaits our wedding day with the Lord! If you have any questions or would like to talk about how to become part of the "Bride" and don't know who to ask, you can ask me, I would love to lead you into a relationship with Him. Read John 3:16 if nothing else!
