Joy Given From My Sweet Daughter

There are sometimes moments that I would like to just freeze in time. The other day I had one of those moments. I was on the phone talking with a friend who had just had her gallbladder removed. The kids were with me and had heard my conversation. As soon as I hung up the questions began to fly out of their mouths. Who was that? What is wrong with her? Is she in the hospital? Will she get better? etc... Then out of the blue in the sweetest and most caring voice Audrey asked, "Can we pray for her?" I almost started to cry at her tenderness toward this person. At the same time it thrilled my soul for her to realize she can turn to God at anytime for anything. I assured her we most certainly could pray for her and we did just that.
Her and Gregory were also inquiring about going to Heaven. Gregory has been discussing this for a long time. He has the head knowledge but we aren't sure that he has it in his heart just yet. He will tell you that he can't go to heaven yet. He will also tell you what he needs to do in order for this to be possible. He is starting to move closer yet but we are waiting for him to ask to do this. Robert and I want our children to fully understand what it is they are doing. We don't want them to grow up with a false hope. We continue to pray that they will come to know the Lord as their personal Savior at a young age. Eric always reminds us that he already has done that and will recall all the details to us. What a joy to know he truly has accepted Christ.
