Now I just sat in quietness thinking of my babies...the ones on earth and the ones in heaven. How much I love them I cannot express. I am so proud of each of them and who they are. As I sat there all alone I happened to glance over and see the note my son wrote to God (all by himself) this past summer. I had mentioned when I first started my blog I should share his letter one day and since it suddenly appeared to me last night I thought I should share it.
I am going to write it just as my son who was then 7 years old wrote it....
"To God. Frome Caleb
Thank you God for coming into my heart and Thank you for helping me git saved today. I wus so glad win my mom sed I cood git saved. I am glad that I will hav everlastin life. I wowt to tell you my faberite verse John 3:16 for God so love the world that he gave his only begottin sun that who so ever should belevith in him should not perish but hav everlasting life. I am glad you died on the cross for our sins. I Love you more than any thing."
Now I keep the original letter folded in my wallet but this is what I saw lying next to me last night .(.this picture and letter positioned something like this)....and I felt it was meant for me to share!
Have a BLESSED day!!

That was so sweet and made me want to cry! You are such a great mother for teaching your children about God and the beauty of his love :)
ReplyDeleteI wrote a post about something similar today... just one of those days where I thought beyond my everyday life.
Thanks for sharing!

how beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI have many times wondered how I could have been "saved" at seven years old and how my girls, before they were even four, became Christians. It seemed so young. Reading this letter just reminds me that they get it. To have faith like a child. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteAw that's so precious! The faith of a child is a beautiful thing! Found you on Monday meet-up!

That is just the most precious letter! I think it's so touching and so sweet that he did this all on his own. What a good reminder this post was.....to not look at the worldy things we have but to keep our hearts and minds on the things above!
ReplyDeleteHi, I love your blog. :] I was wondering, how did you get so many followers in such a short amount of time? Looks like you have only been blogging a days more than I have. I am trying (and failing) at getting a hang of this whole thing. Think you could help me out a bit?
ReplyDeleteThanks!
