At the age of six years, my youngest walks in the door behind me one Wednesday night after church and says " mommy in the truck I asked God to come into my heart" ..... ( mommy moment here) .....
I stopped right there at the door turned around and asked her if she understood that and as she shook her head yes , we went and prayed together! Of course we told daddy and called up the preacher!! I sat there that night on my bed with this very serious little girl with her pink bible and went thru scripture in Romans and tried to make sure she knew and understood and yes I was confirmed she knew, she understood and she was saved that night on the way home! And she loves The Lord!
Well, a really cute part is still to come, that this mommy will always cherish! Few weeks later after some sickness, we finally had her baptism!!! Wonderful night! Family and friends come together to witness this moment that my daughter has followed the steps of Jesus and has proclaimed that she is a child of God! Amen!
We again arrive at home, me and daddy are talking of the night, and this little six year old brown eyed girl walks up to me out of no where and ask so seriously " mom, do you think that when I get to heaven God does know I want pink wings?" Oh how I loved it!!!! (With the cutest little look on her face, I'll never forget)
You know those little things in life that parents cherish in their hearts. The innocence and purity of a child's belief.
Just recently I have read "Heaven is for Real" by Lynn Vincent and Todd Burpo.
Awesome read, if you've never read it!! In this book his son speaks of how colorful heaven is, I couldn't help but think of those precious pink wings!
The best part of it someday, we will be there together rejoicing and praising our Lord, with pink wings? Who knows, we shall see.....
I love this!!So sweet. Give her a hug for Nana
