A new creature

On Wednesday this week (May 12), Sam and I sat down to lunch as usual. Before we ate, I prayed, "Dear Jesus, Thank you for our food and thank you for Daddy and Tyler and Joshua. Amen." And, Sam added, "And thank you, God, for dying on the cross to take our punish." As I have many times before, I said, "That's right, Sam. Do you want to tell Jesus you're sorry for the bad things you've done and ask Him to come into your heart?" Every time I've asked him this before, he's always been quick to answer no, not really. But, this time, he said, "Yes!" I asked him if he wanted to pray the words after me, and he did! He was very excited there was a party in Heaven!

Being Joy

Sam: Mom you have to be joy and I have to be joy. Corrie: Yeah you're right. Sam: Because sometimes you're mean and sometimes I'm mean. So we both have to be joy.
