Connor Shares the Good News
There are many days I wonder if what I’m teaching my children is being retained by their precious, little minds. I know Connor understands the ABC’s…he sings the songs. But when it comes to faith, am I doing the job God is pleased with? I am left wondering that some days and then there are those very rare moments when God, Himself reaffirms the role He specifically blessed me with.
Please read the following e-mail I received from our daycare provider today. She rarely e-mails me so, at first, I was a little concerned but upon reading the context I am blessed to have it in writing to share with you. May you be blessed by the innocent faith of our three-year-old.
Hi Betsy,
I just had to share this with you–I’m afraid I would either forget or it would be too hectic at pick up time.
Shortly after you left this morning Connor and Logan Choppers got into a disagreement over a toy so I decided that today we would try something a little different. I put two dining room chairs facing each other and set one boy in each. They were to sit and talk nicely to each other and show me what good friends they could be. I sat back, playing with our other friends and listened.
At first they continued to talk about who had Bob first, then Connor changed the subject. He asked Logan if he had Jesus in his heart. Logan lifted up his shirt and said “no, see.” Connor laughed and said, “No Choppers, you can’t see Jesus in your heart you just feel him and he makes you feel good. You should get Jesus in your heart.” Logan’s attention span was depleted by then and he changed the subject to sleeping at grandma’s house, but for that moment, I got to see Jesus in Connor’s heart.
The next time someone asks me how I can stand to “do” daycare I’ll share this story with them…out of the mouth of babes!
Hope you’re having a great day-we’ve just finished lunch and it’s time for a Veggie Tale (special rainy day treat!)
Love,
Cherie
I pray you will have a blessed day and may one of these types of “rare moments” regarding your own child be gifted to you, as well.
Betsy
