...and really, that's not all it's about.
Walking with Christ is almost the best part. The heaven thing, that's the cherry on top.
And last night, when I was stuffing laundry into the dryer, Flynn called to me from the spring horse,
"Mom, I want God & Jesus in my heart."
"Well baby, we prayed about that before...do you want to pray about it again?"
And she nodded. And I was across the room at the speed of light. To squat beside her, take her hand, & be sure that she knew how huge it is. So she sweetly took my hands & repeated my prayer. About sin being the icky stuff we do. And once we ask Jesus to be our friend forever, that God doesn't even see that junk. (which is hard for even me to believe at times)
This morning, I greeted her with, "Remember the prayer you prayed last night?"
And in her grovelly morning voice she sweetly replied, "That Jesus could live in my heart forever."
Good stuff.

Oh now sweet and marvelous and pure is Flynn's little heart! If only the whole wide world had the same kind of tender and innocent heart!!!!!
Thanks Amy for sharing that. It gave a lift to my spirit tonight. I thank you and Jeff again for the Christian upbringing you are giving Flynn and Gabe.
Mom
What a wonderful mom you are to not let that opportunity go by. Thanks for sharing. She is such a sweetheart.
I am so sorry that house is not sold. No fun. :(
My mom pulled out a little Blondie this Christmas with guitar hero also. It's fun having a hip young grandma. :)
Such a PRECIOUS moment! Beautiful.
