A spiritual awakening

Over the last couple weeks Josh and I have notice a change in Henry. Since VBS (Aug 4-8) he's been different; quicker to obey, kinder to Elaine, more thankful, singing "Jesus" songs, and more loving. Plus, the things that he says (see previous blog) have been interesting.

Last week I decided it was time to ask some questions. While driving in the car last Friday I asked Henry. "Does Jesus live in your heart?"
He responded as only Henry can. "Yes, Jesus lives in my heart. Well no, He lives on my shoulder."
"When did he start living on your shoulder?"
Henry replied with confidence. "Oh, I think today. Or maybe in the morning."
I said to Henry, "I'm excited that Jesus lives on your shoulder. He lives in my heart and Daddy's heart, too."
Henry had a question about that. "How can Jesus live in my heart and your heart and Daddy's heart? He's only one person."
I said. "Well Jesus is God and God can be everywhere at once because God is very big."
Then Henry decided to ask more questions. "Mommy, how can Jesus be God? They are different people. How big is God?"
At this point I said. "Henry, those are great questions, why don't you ask Daddy."

So next time you see Henry welcome him to the family of God. He's now your brother in Christ! It is so incredible to see God working Henry's life. Henry is so young and he has made a wise choice. We pray that God will watch over him as he grows and that he will serve God faithfully. We serve an awesome God!

And remember, God lives on your shoulder.
