The boys and I were doing our bible study together before bed as normal....until.....we get to the question "if Jesus came back tonight would you be raised up with Him?"

Cody quickly says, "Oh YEAH!"

Zachary says, "not me, but I want to!"

So Cody says, "Zachary you can pray right now and ask Jesus into your heart....do you want to?"

".....um, I already did quietly!" Zachary says

So after talking to Zachary and seeing if he understood what he wanted to do, we helped him speak the prayer to God out loud and to profess Jesus as his Savior!

Cody could not stop smiling and half way through the prayer the smile turned to crying....Cody has prayed for years that Zachary would ask Jesus into his heart!! I just witnessed the most awesome out pouring of love from my boys. This moment in time was amazing! Thank you GOD!!!!

(This picture was taken right after Cody blew his nose and stopped crying....precious little ones God has blessed us with!)

Arrow of Light

We attended the Blue and Gold banquet and the Arrow of Light Ceremony tonight with Cody. It is the highest rank in Cub Scouts and they get tapped out to Boy Scouts. It is a very reverent ceremony, quiet and dark.

Zachary looks up at me and says in his quietest of voice, "Mom cover my ears and neck so they won't see me I don't want them to come and take me away and hit my shoulders."

John 14:6

Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through me."

This was the boys memory verse for Upwards this week and we were sitting at the table eating supper practicing the verse. Zachary aces the verse but with some hand motions....but through me, and points from his bottom up to his neck. I said, "What?"

So he does it again repeats the whole verse with hand motions and then explains to me, "butt through me, Mom it means Jesus comes up through your butt and into your heart."

Oh me after much laughing....we have some serious explaining to do. Where do they get these things?
