Happy May Day!

On the corner of the street where we turn to go to the baby-sitters house is a church. This morning Grace was looking up out the window at the steeple of the church and said to me,

"Hey Mom! I saw that thing!"

"What thing?"

"That thing that Jesus died on!"

"Oh, you mean a cross?"

"Yeah - a cross!"

"Yep, honey - Jesus died on the cross so we could go to Heaven."

"Heaven?" Picture her head cocked and her little nose scrunched up.

"Heaven is where Jesus and God live."

"No-ho-ho-ho" She laughed. "Jesus and God live in our hearts. Grandpa said so!"

Way to go, Grandpa! I think he mentioned this to her a couple of times months ago, but she sure does remember that Grandpa told her about Jesus living in our hearts! Anytime I talk about Jesus - Grace tells me this. "Jesus lives in our hearts. Grandpa says so!"

"Yup - Jesus lives in our hearts if we ask Him to. Do you want Jesus to live in your heart and be the boss of you?"

"Yes! And you're the boss of me, too - Mama!"

"That's right, honey - and Jesus is the boss of Mama! And Daddy! And Miss Stacey!"

"Miss Stacey? REALLY?"

She was really impressed with that one!

I just love our spiritual discussions. A great way to start a beautiful day!

Happy May Day!
