It's times like this, that make me proud to say, "That's my kid"!
So yesterday was Easter. It's MY favorite time of the year, actually. "Holy Week" has, in the last 5 years, become the best time of my life. And it's because of the incredible good news of Jesus dying, and taking all the weight of MY sins onto himself, and making sure that I can go to Heaven when I die. My 4 year old has been going to church 9 Sundays out of 10 for his entire life. And for the first 3 years, we went to the mid-week service too, just because. He's been in Sunday school, getting a lesson for 2 years now, and until this year, I honestly was wondering if ANYTHING was sinking into that little skull of his. Then this last week, on Thursday, despite the fact that he was on Spring break, he remembered that it was Thursday, and said that "Today is the day that Jesus gave the bread and wine to his 'sciples, you know!"
And then on Friday afternoon, he said, "The whole world shook when Jesus died, you know!" And on Sunday afternoon, when my parents came for lunch, he kept saying, "He's risen!" And today, when we went to the counselor, the one we saw that's going to help us figure out how to handle him more effectively, he walked in and said, "HE's RISEN!" and when she said, "Who's that?" He said, "JESUS! You heard of Him, right?" And she said, "yes, I have!" And he said, "Jesus is my best friend! He got himself hurted, so I can go to heaven!"
