Here's a random but adorable story-- Josiah this morning at breakfast points out the Last Supper picture hanging on the wall and says, "Look, Jesus!" I had food in my mouth but said, "MMhmm that's right..." and was going to elaborate on the last supper when I finished chewing.
Then a minute later after silence he says, "I want to go to heaven".
I told him that I do too, and that someday he will and we will... and that that's why I try to obey God's rules and love Jesus every day so that some day I can live in heaven with him. And then I said, "Just like Gavin, he's already in heaven, remember?" and he said, "yeahh.... but he was sick... i'm not sick... but I want to go to heaven too" haha. :) (he's so sweet!) I told him that he will, that he doesn't have to be sick but God will take him to heaven to be with Jesus when he's ready and that he's preparing his heart. And he said, "Jesus in my heart!?" and I said, "yes!"
And of course he broke into a 3 year old fit of giggles... "yeah!! hahaha... I love Jesus"
Anyway I can't remember ALL the details and exact words but...this boy is too much. I just love how little children talk of God and Jesus as if it is and has always been so familiar and ordinary to them... what a gift of faith.
