Still Speechless

[Sitting with the kids on their new beds]

ME: Do you know why we built you these beds?
Will: No.
ME: Someone told us in our hearts to build them for you. Do you know who that was?
Kids (in unison): Jesus!
[I guess that they’ve sat in Sunday school before!]
ME: That’s right. God told us to build these beds for YOU because he wanted you to know that he loved you.

It was a priceless moment looking at their beaming faces and experiencing goodness, mercy, and justice with them.

The pillars of the earth belong to Him.
May the glory of the Lord endure forever.

Mark, I love this....that they knew right away that it was Jesus. The mind or a Child is incredible and I am sure that will leave a lasting memory in their minds for years to come.

Mark and Tommy:
It really was awesome. Isn't that interesting that they knew it was Jesus? Who else could it be? They went right to the source!

I saw mercy and justice reflected in their faces.
