Don't you want to see what Jesus looks like?

So, Aidan and Michael have recently started asking us basic questions about witnessing to their friends at school! Of course, we 100% encouraged them to do so...they took it upon themselves to begin taking their bibles to school with them. I love it! Everyday, they will make sure to put it back in their book bags, just so they will have it in case they need to show someone who doesn't know what a bible looks like.

Aidan carries a small red Gideon bible that my dad gave him several years ago. Michael carries the children's Seaside Bible. Michael loves this bible. It once belonged to Aidan, but when Michael moved in, and didn't have one, Aidan volunteered his. Michael has always loved that it is a picture bible, and the scene on the front shows Jesus with children, different colored children. Red, Yellow, Black and White..They are precious in His sight children! He loves that the picture shows diversity, much like our family! Anyway, he loves His bible...that is the point!

Each day, the boys will come home with a new story of who they got to share Jesus with. We cherish these stories...to see your children eager to share Jesus with others is the best sight in the world! We love it! Often, we hear more stories from Aidan, as he is definitely more outspoken than Michael...so, when the phone rang this morning, I was glad to hear how outspoken he has been as well!!

Michael is Hispanic....His first language was Spanish...so, he is in ESOL (English as a second language) classes at school! He loves his teacher. Her name is Mrs. Amy! I am pretty sure he has a crush on her. :) She is quite pretty, he definitely has good taste. She is also a Christian! YAY! So, today at school, he asked her if she wanted to see what Jesus looks like? Curious how he was going to show her, she said YES!! Michael whips out his bible, and said see...there's Jesus. He continued to say, "this bible is great, because it has pictures and if you forget what Jesus looks like while you are reading it, you can look at the front and there He is!" "Don't you like to see Jesus, Mrs. Amy?" Of course, Mrs. Amy agreed that his bible was fantastic!! You have to remember Michael still has a little bit of a hispanic accent mixed with a small speech impediment, making for one of the sweetest voices you have ever heard!! I lit up as his teacher told me this story today! I am so thankful for a teacher that will share these sweet stories with me, and I am so thankful and proud of Michael for being bold enough to witness to his teacher (he didn't know she already loved Jesus).

Love that sweet boy!

Thank you, Lord for this precious boy! Thank you for his sweet, loving spirit. I am so thankful that he loves YOU at such a young age, and that he is anxious to share your name with others! I pray that he would keep this precious spirit, and always have a desire to further your kingdom, Lord. Thank you for entrusting this precious child to Emory and I!
