The angels rejoice!!!

Just when one begins to wonder if their labors are of value, God sends along a blessing to reassure one of His promises.
I am overjoyed to tell you of my Sunday's events. As many of you know, my husband pastors a small church. I have been filling in for the Children's church on Sunday mornings, since our BJU girls have gone for the summer. On most Sundays, my group consists of my own two children and our assistant pastor's daughter. Don't get me wrong. It is my joy to teach my own children and know that they are getting God's Word brought to their level. (side note: I have been using the Beth Moore, Jesus the One and Only study for kids - it is great!)

Well, this past Sunday, my kids and our assistant pastor's children were going to be gone to camp and trips with grandparents. My first thoughts were to just not have the children's church and enjoy my husbands sermon. I discussed it with him and he suggested I get something basic about salvation for these 2 little boys that have been coming as a result of a dear lady in our church bringing them.
Ladies...this was a goose bump moment for me!!
I had taken these 2 little boys over to the building to teach them. It was just me and them.
I started with the birth and ended at the resurrection. I mention here how these boys NEVER heard of Jesus until a couple of weeks ago when they started coming. I had transitioned to a flannel graph story about the narrow way and the broad way, having them help me put up the pictures.
As I was working with the younger one, I heard the older boy praying. I was not prepared for what I had the JOY of seeing. Please know, I never mentioned praying and asking Jesus into your heart. This young boy of 7 with eyes closed and faced positioned upward was praying. These were his words," Jesus, I love you. I want to go to heaven. I am sorry for the bad things. You are God. Please forgive me." Honestly, I was shocked. I asked him what he did and he said that he wanted to go to heaven with Jesus. I tried not to question what he did, because of him doing it on his own. We went to our craft of putting crosses on a paper with popsicle sticks. He then walked over to the flannel graph of Jesus and put his fingers on it and said, "I just love you Jesus."

Could it be???? I thought. Did this child just enter your kingdom? I say a hearty, "Yes"!
Is it not childlike faith that He requires of us. How much more childlike could it have been?
Did the angels rejoice? A thousand times over I am sure.

Please pray for this little boy.
I thank the Lord for ALLOWING me to have the privilege of witnessing this whole event.
