Last Monday for Family Home Evening, Stuart was teaching the lesson on
the plan of salvation. It's one of those things that you never really know
if anyone is getting anything from the lesson. RaeLynn and Ainzlee
are all over the place. Finally Stuart is getting to the end, and RaeLynn
sits down by me on the couch ready to listen. FINALLY, right!! haha lol
Then this is how the conversation goes:
Papa talking directly to Rae "Jesus died for us so that we can live with him again."
RaeLynn gets really sad, and the tears start to run down her face,
and she says, "But I didn't want him too."
Papa crying now along with mama, says to Rae, " I know, I didn't
want him to either, but he loves us so much that he died for us so
we can live with him again and be an eternal family."
This sweet little act has changed my life over the past week. I look
at her a little differently. She knows more than we think and is listening
ALL the time. Rae brings such a sweet spirit into our home and I am very
grateful for her honesty. I just want her to know that her papa and mama
love her so much and look forward to watching her continue to draw closer
to her Savior Jesus Christ.
He lives and He loves each one of us!
