It's been a mix of crazy emotions the last year or so...even more so the last couple of months. But God continues to sprinkle my difficult days with such joy and amazement.
Joshua met a little boy last year in his preschool class and they are still great friends. This little boys' parents have become our friends as well which is such a blessing and a joy. We've talked with Joshua quite often about our need to love on this family especially since we weren't sure if they knew Jesus. We've talked about how our actions can show them how much Jesus loves them and we've talked about our need to verbally tell them about Jesus.
We had this sweet family over to our home the other day. As I peaked my head into Joshua's room where he and his friend were playing, I heard Joshua ask him, "Do you believe in Jesus?" I think my heart stopped beating for a moment out of shear joy and awe upon hearing my son ask his friend the most important question of all. Later that night, Joshua told us that his friend said he did not believe in Jesus which caused Joshua much concern. As we talked through things, he said that sometimes he just doesn't know how to tell his friend about Jesus so we discussed possible ways to do that. He wanted to be sure we didn't forget to tell this sweet family about our amazing God.
I was convicted that night as I had not yet found an opportunity to talk to his friend's mother about Jesus (I since have done so). I was humbled in thinking through possible ways to share Jesus with this family when I find that to be difficult at times myself. I was convicted that night to hear Joshua's urgency in wanting to be sure we never forgot to share Jesus with our friends.
I'm simply in awe of this amazing little boy God has blessed us with. He seems to have such insight and tenderness far beyond his years. I look forward to teaming up with our amazing son to find ways to share Jesus with others...wherever God plants us!
