Salvation....9-9-9

I am overwhelmed and completely blessed. I do not think that this day...this moment I experienced tonight will ever be topped.
My sweet baby boy, Christopher, accepted Jesus into his heart tonight.
I can imagine the party that is happening in heaven right now for his benefit....in celebration of him.....
We were reviewing the AWANA bible verse for tomorrow...JOHN 3:16...a verse Christopher actually has had memorized for over a year now...but today something....God...just really touched his heart.
He was asking me....When some people die they do not go to heaven? Why not? What do you have to do to go to heaven?
I asked him if he knew that Jesus loved him and if he knew what he had done for him...I asked him...you understand that verse...that God loves YOU, CHRISTOPHER, so much that he sent Jesus to die on the cross for our sins.....
I sensed that Christopher really understood this.....Christopher just started kindergarten this fall...and one of the things the teachers do with the kids is give parents daily feedback about their behavior. The purple slips are for super behavior and the whites slips are to let parents know when the kids have had a difficult day. Christopher has recieved both slips. One day I remember he did cry because he did not get a purple slip and got a white slip...he said...MOM it is hard to be good all day!
These daily slips of paper have really open up opportunities to talk to him about God's love and forgiveness. One thing that Jason and I decided is that we will talk to him about the white slips and use these as teachable moments....but in front of Christopher...we take that slip....that says what he did....and we throw it into the trash in front of him..one...because we do not want him to think that we hold that against him...that there is always tomorrow...and we want him to have a tangible understanding of God's forgivness.
Praise the LORD...because tonight...my little boy....5 years old and 3months and 16 days old....accepted Jesus into his heart....with a clear awareness that he would go to heaven...and a great understanding that JESUS loves him and died for his sins.(white slips) and God is actively involved in his life and wants to take his life and make is beautiful for the glory of God.

Lord God...take my son and protect him. Lord thank you so much for Christopher. I pray that he grows to be a man of great faith....I believe he will do and accomplish so much for you LORD...he has a wonderful spirit.

Thank you Lord for answering my prayers..
Your loving and thankful daughter, Krissy
