Angels Are Singing!

Just had to share this...
Gabi was sitting on my lap last Saturday by the campfire, before bed...it was just her and I. Ben had gone to the showers and we were waiting for him to come back and take over his "job" of holding his baby by the fire before bedtime. Anyways, as she was looking up into the sky she asked, "mommy, how do you ask Jesus in your heart?" The conversation went on with her explaining to me that they learned about it as a group at Prairie Camp and the counselors asked for kids who wanted to ask Jesus into their hearts. They would pray with them and help them. Gabi said she was a little shy and decided she wanted to do it at home. My heart melted. How exciting! I sat there and tried to explain the best way I knew how, to a 7 year old little girl, how to say a prayer asking Jesus to come into her heart. We even prayed together. I also explained it didn't stop there, that there was lots to do after making a home for Him in her heart. We talked about how to live the way Jesus wanted us to. I feel so very blessed to have helped Gabi that evening...I'm so glad that Gabi's name is written in the book of Life! The Angels are definitely singing.
