During prayers Suzy reminded me that we needed to pray for Ms. Terry, our neighbor across the street who was taken to the hospital today, she asked if we needed to pray for Britney. I told her no, we don't need to pray for Britney anymore since he is in heaven with Jesus. And Jesus is taking care of her. I was asked by Suzy if that was silly of Jesus to take care of Britney, and I told her no. I asked Suzy what she thought it was; she told me it was very nice of Jesus to take care of Britney. Wholeheartedly, I agreed.
So we moved on to her songs after finishing up with prayers. She gets to pick out three songs to have, two with the light on, and one with the light off. She can pick any song Daddy knows, but regardless of my encouragement, the songs wind up being Jesus and the Row, and the Twink. So almost nightly I sing Row, Row your Boat, Jesus Loves Me, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. The way out the door, after songs I usually get a whole host of different questions. Tonight was very different: "Daddy do you have God in your heart?" I responded "Yes, I have God in my heart". I get the follow up question of: "Daddy, do I have God in my heart?" I tell Suzy that in order to have God in your heart you need to have accepted Jesus as your Lord and Savior. She tells me that she wants to have Jesus as her "umm what was it, oh yeah, my Lord and Savior". So we pray together: "Dear Jesus, Please be my Lord and Savior and help me to be your disciple more everyday and to help me follow in your footsteps."
My sweet little girl will be joining us in heaven! She accepted Jesus as her Lord and Savior.
