From the Rocking Chair

Tyler was up fairly early this morning and wanted to "rock-a-bye". So we went to the big green chair to snuggle and "chat". He is so funny. He is still a little bit wrapped up in John Peter, though we don't hear about him quite as often as we used to. So, you mix John Peter with all of the stuff that has been going on with Denny and Vickie this past week and this is the conversation that you get:

"Mama, something happened to John Peter when he was a little baby. He died just like Denny and Vickie's little baby."

"Really Tyler, that is that so sad."

"Yea, it broke my heart when Denny and Vickie's baby died."

Oh, my. What sweet, sensitive words can come from our children. This conversation was followed up with one about salvation. Tyler is beginning to get curious about asking Jesus into our lives. He had asked a question about Jesus coming into His heart. He wanted to know if He went through your mouth to get to your heart! I was explaining to him that when Jesus lives in our lives and He forgives our sins that we get to go to Heaven to live with Him forever and ever. His response:

"What day do we leave?"

Priceless!
