So we have been talking with Princess and Sunshine about salvation and what it means to be saved. We have been reading verses like the Romans road and answering many MANY questions they have about asking Jesus into your heart and the difference between heaven and hell. Their minds are constantly amazing me in how much they are soaking up these days!
Well after the normal round of "Jesus Loves Me" while Princess, Sunshine and the other Pumpkins were waiting for me to finish getting their plates loaded up at lunch today my two started talking about heaven and hell. Princess all of a sudden says, "when I am in hell Jesus will save me if I ask him into my heart." It was yet another opportunity to explain that if we find ourselves in hell it is too late to ask Jesus to save us. She asked me if I was going to go to heaven or hell when I died and I proudly told her that because I trust Jesus Christ as my personal Savior that I know there is a home for me in heaven when I die, and that is very exciting!
After a few more minutes my son says, "Mommy, do you think it would be okay if I talk to Daddy more about this at bedtime tonight because I have so many questions and he knows a lot about the Bible without even having to look it up; sometimes Mommy when I ask you, you have to get your Bible and read it before you answer me!" It is true, Handsome and I are a good team that way! Except it isn't that I have to look up the verses, it is the references. But the secret is that I remember the verses and Handsome remembers the references!
Anyway, it just makes my heart smile to know that they are starting to ask many MANY questions about salvation and we pray that one day in the future our children will ask Jesus into their hearts!
I am VERY thankful for such a godly husband that does such a good job explaining these very important things to my children!
