A Very Special Day




Today is such a special day for our little family.  Just 4 days before his 7th birthday, Myles told me tonight - right after I told him it was time for bed - that he wanted to ask Jesus to come into his heart!!!!  We sat on his bed and he took my hands in his and - after thanking God that his Grandpa is out of the hospital - he asked Jesus to live in his heart!!!


As many in church will notice, Myles has been taking communion for a while now.  Those that don't go to our church probably don't know that we don't have a "set" age when people can take communion.  As long as you profess to have Jesus as your personal Savior - you can take communion in our church.  


I had talked to Myles about this before he ever started taking communion and he said "I did that with Mama Jean!" ((his babysitter/teacher/other mother)).  I didn't want to doubt him, so I let him take communion.  I made sure to talk with him virtually every Sunday, talking him through what the bread and the cup represent.  He knew all the answers, which always made me feel good.


So, I don't know if he's actually done it before or not...but since I know he asked to pray with me tonight...I know it for sure now!!  I am so unbelievably proud of him and happy for him.  I know that his life is secure in the love of Christ!




But to all who have received Him - those who believe in His name - He has given the right to become children of God
John 1:12
