MY BEST FRIEND JESUS!
On July 29, 2012 I had my son dedicated. I stood up at the altar as a new mommy, and my preacher prayed over my little boy. I will never forget that day, and the promise I made to raise and nurture him to follow Christ. I have seen God’s hand on my little boy since that day, and it has been an incredible journey and I get to witness it with my own eyes.
He has such a sweet spirited sole, and a tender heart for the Lord. The love he has for the Lord inspires me and many others that are around him constantly. He truly defines what it means to have a child- like faith.
I have sat across from him in a restaurant as he says “mommy lets pray”. He never cares who is around or who is watching him. I have watched him tell other boys and girls about Jesus. I have seen him line up his stuffed animals and pretend they are at church and he is teaching them. He isn’t afraid to worship and he isn’t afraid to show his love for God. This little guy and Jesus are the best of friends. My child’s, light shines through him. I believe he is going places and GOD has big plans for his future. It truly is a privilege to raise him and spend my days laughing, and sometimes crying as we journey through this life together.
On September 26, 2017 on our way home we had a conversation about what heaven looked like, we discussed having Jesus in our hearts and it was a most heartfelt moment that I will remember forever. Hearing him talk about Jesus brings tears to my eyes, I always tell him how proud of him I am and how much I adore his love for Jesus. This little boy is going to do wonders in this world.
Like a lot of things, this sweet boy does, it has left me wondering. How would my life be different if I didn’t have this amazing little boy in my life? How would my life be different if we weren’t worried about who was watching us when we kneeled to pray at the altar, or worry what they may think? Charlie, is teaching me every day what it is like to have child-like faith.
I thank GOD for this gift of life that he bestowed upon me 5 years ago when I held my sweet boy in my arms for the first time. He made me a mother, which has forever changed me. I am so undeserving to have such an incredible little boy. With everything that I have in me I will continue pointing him in the direction of Jesus, the only one who can satisfy his soul.
Charlie, my sweet Angel, my prayer for you every day is that you will look to Jesus every day of your life and continue to follow him. He will never let you down.
“And Jesus called the little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them, And said, Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of Heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of Heaven “Matthew 18: 2-4.
