GOD IS SO GOOD!! Levi has been asking a lot of questions about getting saved lately. We have tried to answer as best we know how. He's only 6 but is so mature about things. He has asked all about how do you get Jesus in your heart, if I get saved does that mean I'm fixing to die, bad people go to hell and I don't want to go to hell I want to go to heaven, etc. So, since the questions have been on 3 different nights this week alone, we felt like this was something that was really troubling him. We went to McDonalds after church tonight to eat w/Luke, MK, Ben, Beth, Mom and Dad and on the way home I read him a children's book about being saved that Luke had gotten for him. At the end you could ask your child if they wanted to ask Jesus into their heart. I stopped at that point b/c we were in the car and almost home and thought I would finish here. However, he continued with the questions and wanted to talk to PePaw about it. So, we stopped by Mom/Dad's house and talked about it. He wanted to pray when he got home and call PePaw/MeMaw after he prayed. SO, he prayed the sweetest, tenderest prayer you have ever heard! After he prayed he ran to the phone and called PePaw/MeMaw and then Pop/Nana. He told them he knew he had gotten saved "cause I felt a tickle in my heart and I'm so happy!" HALLELUJAH!!! I'm so thankful no matter our age, gender, or denomination GOD is no respecter of persons and loves us all the same!! Please say a little prayer for Levi and continue to pray that God will be more real to him everyday! If you haven't asked Jesus into your heart, maybe you should really think about it. JOHN 3:16....I know if my 6 yr.old can quote it and explain it you can understand it too. Besides, his love and blessings are boundless and there's nothing in the world like feeling that "tickle in your heart!"

Oh, in my humble opinion, there is never a more greater blessing than when your children accept the saving grace that Jesus Christ extends to us. There won't be a more excellent post.....this is hard to top. MARVELOUS NEWS. Cherish the moment, savor it. Breathe in the fact that because of the Godly examples Levi has in his parents, family and church,and the decision he has made, he will be with you FOREVER in Heaven. And please know that this news has "put a tickle in my heart" too.
