Little Hearts

Last week at bedtime I was singing Owen his favorite song, "Maker".  Which is about God, the maker.  I had not told Owen who the maker was, however, but we sang the song at VBS so I thought maybe he knew.  I asked, "Owen who do you think the maker is?"  He looked at me and without hesitation said, "God."  WOW!  I was so happy to hear he "got it!"  My heart was so happy.

Tonight as we were going to bed I told Owen how proud I was of him for his courage today at the dentist and at swimming lessons. I told him God had given him courage.  He said, "God owie."  I said, "Yes and then what?"  Owen said, "Died,"  I was shocked he knew Jesus had died!  I mean, we talk about it, read about it, etc., but he knew!  I then asked, "Then what?"  He didn't say anything so we talked about how Jesus came back alive, how great it was and how he lives with us now and everywhere. My heart was just bursting at the seams as I told Jeff about it.  He went in to tuck Owen in and say goodnight and had the same conversation.  My eyes were brimming with tears.

What a great parenting moment.  I mean really.  If that's all I do right in life I will be happy that my children know the Lord.
