There are not enough big smiles for this post!
If nothing good ever happens to me again I don't think I'll care after what happened tonight...
Lex, my 7 year old niece, and I were talking tonight and she's had this somewhat odd fear lately about bombs being on airplanes, I say odd because she's only been on one airplane and has absolutly no prospects of being on one again anytime soon..but anyway... I was asking her what scared her so much and such and she was telling me about being scared of death and being buried so I explained to her that when you die you're not in your body anymore so there is no reason to be scared of that part, explained about the whole soul thing and how that's who you really are and once you die that part of you isn't in your body anymore and how going to heaven will be amazing and all the love and such. She talked about going to heaven and not wanting to go to hell and I explained my view on being saved and going to heaven and I asked her if she'd ever prayed to ask Jesus into her life, she said no and asked me a few more questions about it and asked how you pray for that, if there was something special you had to pray or anything. I told her no, there were no special words and asked her if she wanted me to pray with her and she got this big smile on her face and said yes so I told her that the important part wasn't the words you said but the belief you had in your heart, that this wasn't something to be doing just to do it that she really had to believe and she told me that she understood and she really believed in God and wanted to have Jesus in her heart. So I'm almost crying by now and we hold hands and pray a little prayer. I didn't hear any angels singing but I know they were.
