LIfe Unexpected

My children's propensity for creativity and imagination amazes me.  It brings me such joy to see their world come alive each day with new adventures.  

My son even makes a trip to the dentist as a chance to check out a new world.

What has impacted me the most is how they grasp the truths of scripture.  I have been moved to tears over their simple explanations of the lessons we are teaching them about Jesus.  

This evening their quiet time was in Romans and it gave us an awesome opportunity to talk about Good Friday and Easter.  The quiet time asked them to draw a picture of something God has done for them and Jack chose to illustrate the cross.  What moved me most was the little person with the heart by their head next to the cross.  As we prayed together we asked them what they could thank God for and Emma, in her sweet 3 year old voice, spoke gospel truth and I was in tears.

 During Sunday School I was teaching the kids about the Israelites building the temple and how we now have a church to worship God.  This is Jack's depiction of the church with Moses looking out the window.

I prayed for them again tonight.  I prayed that the truth of God's Word would continue to become alive to them.  I pray that they will know God's love for them and love Him with all their heart.  I know I fail often in living out these truths for them but I pray that God's grace will shine through me and that I will learn from them more about my Father's love for me.
