Our nightly routine before bed is to crawl up on the couch or Jaycee's bed and read bible stories. Thanks to Nana we have a great Bible story book. Jaycee and Jackson love it. We probably read about 6-8 stories a night.
Tonight we were in Jaycee's room. We were reading about Elijah and Elisha. Its the part where the fiery chariot and horses come and take Elijah to Heaven. Well, after each story they have either a question or some sort of encouraging word. This story had this question; Who do you think will be in Heaven? Jaycee quickly responded, God! Then she says and when I see Him, I am going to give Him much kisses! Thank you, Lord! That is where the title comes in! The tears of joy that are flowing from this momma's eyes! Thank you Jesus for already beginning the work in my little girl's heart!
Jackson is quite amazing as well. Every night before I put him down we pray. I usually say are you ready to pray and he says yeah and then his head hit my shoulder. Tonight before I could even get the question out his head was on my shoulder and he said pray!
I can't even express how awesome it is to see my children already trusting in God! How powerful that is! How much more that motivates me to surrender my all everyday to my Lord and Savior! Have a child like faith! I thought I was suppose to be teaching them about God and here they are teaching me! That is just God showing how awesomely big and wonderful He truly is!

Oh Dana, I'm crying with you. It is so amazing to see their tender little hearts soak up God's stories from His word and be so eager to pray. Keep up the good work, mommy!
Dana, how can Nana not cry hearing how these precious kids hearts are so tender toward God. And that is because they have a mom and dad who are following God and training them up. Keep up the wonderful job!! Nana
