"Pillow Talk" with a 3 yr. old!

Not too long ago I blogged about Jaycee and her giving kisses to God when she sees Him in Heaven. In the past week, we have had many conversations about Heaven. What Heaven will be like? Who will be in Heaven? Will there be animals in Heaven and so forth. So at random times throughout the day Jaycee will ask if something or someone will be in Heaven with us.

Last night during our usual routine of tucking Jaycee in bed she once again got my heart. We sing songs and pray before she rolls over and says good night. After we finished Jesus loves the little Children she looks at me, places her hand on my heart, and says Jesus lives there. I said Yes He does. Then she said Jesus lives in Daddy's heart too. I said, that is correct. Jaycee then said, but He doesn't live in mine or Jackson's heart yet. I replied no, not right now but one day soon He will. She agreed and then went on to say that He will knock on her heart one day. I said yes He will. I told her that will be the time that you answer and say Jesus I love you and I need you to live in my heart! It was precious! So amazing how God is already working in the hearts of Jaycee and Jackson.

Jackson is into prayer. When Byron sits at the dinner table Jackson already has his hands out saying "Pray". Then at nap times and bed time we pray. Its wonderful! Thursday night Jackson had a hard time sleeping. So I got up with him a couple of times. When I would go to put him back in bed, he says "Pray". So cute! I am so thankful God has given Byron and I Jaycee and Jackson. That through this journey called parenthood He is growing us more then I ever thought possible. I am teaching my children about God, but God is teaching me so much more through my children. I am truly grateful for that and for His unconditional love for us all!
