Faith like a child...

Yesterday, something amazing happened when I was in McDonald's buying drinks for my family.
I went in to buy Brad, Asher and I a drink at lunch time, leaving my darling man and son in the car to play a game of "Rock, Scissors, Paper".  Or so I thought.
By the time I came out something AWESOME had happened!
My husband greeted me saying, "Guess what Mummy, Asher just asked Jesus into his heart!"
Well... I nearly fell over! WOW!!!! All whilst I was buying milkshakes!

Apparently they had started playing the game and Asher said he was hot so Brad opened the doors to let the wind in.  He then began to talk about the wind and how we couldn't see it but we could feel it, just like God. 
Asher went on to ask how we feel God and Brad explained that we could feel Him in our hearts.  Asher then wanted to know how God gets in our heart and was told that you have to ask Him to come in.  So, then he did ask!  Awesome, awesome, awesome!!!

When I was told about it when I got back to the car, I added, "Asher, do you know that this means that you have the best friend in the whole wide world now that Jesus is your best friend!!!"  He smiled really big at me and told me that he still loved his other friends though.  I told him that was totally ok.


We have been praying for this day since before he was born.  We have prayed that he would come to know Christ at an early age.  When he turned 4 a couple of months ago, I had really hoped that he would recieve Christ into his life like I had at the same age for the first time.  What was so amazing, was that we have chatted alot to him about being friends with Jesus and even talked about all this kind of thing before.  But we could never have guessed that a completely unorchestrated conversation in a McDonald's carpark would ever be the place that he finally made that decision. 

It is easy to doubt and second guess if his decision is real or not, but to a 4 year old mind and heart, I believe it is.  This afternoon I asked him to explain to my brother, his Uncle Steve, what happened to his heart yesterday. He gave a massive smile and said proudly, "I let God in my heart!"

I want to say that I am so proud, but pride is not what I am feeling, it is true and absolute joy at the thought of a little soul that is saved!  If this is how I am feeling I just know that there is THE biggest party going off in heaven right now!!!
