The Beginning of a Relationship

Well, I know it has been a LONG time since I have made the effort to write a journal. That is my fault and I will try to do better....now on to the topic for the day.

About 2 weeks ago, Josiah and I were riding to Sam's. As we were getting in the car he asked me "Hey Daddy, where is Jesus?" I told him that He was in heaven with God but that if he asked Jesus to be with him that Jesus would. Then I dropped the matter got in the car and we started down the road to Sam's.

After a few minutes of driving and conversation, Josiah goes back to the subject and tells me, "Hey Daddy, I want Jesus to always be with me." So, I told him that if he prayed and asked Jesus to come and be with him that Jesus would come and that he would never have to be alone again. I then asked him if he wanted to say a prayer. He said yes and so we said a simple repeat after me prayer for Him to ask Jesus to always come and be with him.

It was a great moment and a wonderful beginning to his desire to connect to God. And just to inject a bit of realism....the rest of the day went downhill fast and he was in trouble a lot. But hey! Satan can't be happy about such things so why be surprised.  We are thankful and blessed to have such a wonderful boy. I look forward to the days ahead.

That's all for now! Please keep us in your prayers.
