Thank Heaven for little boys

So, this is out of order chronologically with the events of our family life, this past week.  However, I couldn't help but blog about it, especially so I don't forget such an awesome moment. 
On Saturday morning, out of the blue, David tells me that he talked to Jesus today. I, of course, asked him again because I thought I had heard wrong but he explained that he indeed had talked to Jesus that morning.  When I asked him what he talked to Him about, he said he thought he had seen monsters and he started talking to Jesus.  Jesus told him that he shouldn't be afraid, and that He would be his friend, 'all day long'.  This fabulous moment opened the door for more discussion and encouragement to call on Jesus for all things. He has been questioning baptism a lot lately.  I guess because he comes into church with us occasionally and has witnessed believers baptism a few times. I definitely don't feel equipped to make him understand the whole process but just to be able to have discussions with him about it is very neat and I know in time his understanding with increase naturally.

 It overwhelms me that God trusts me enough to be responsible for teaching and guiding this little 4 year old. What is so cool about it though, is as we say the prayers with him and recite scripture, God does all of the rest.  There is security knowing that ultimately David's salvation is not up to me or Brian but we are to lead him under the direction of Yahweh and trust that the seeds we plant will be sown into a foundation of faith and trust in Jesus Christ.
