Sometimes the best presents won't be found wrapped in a box with a bow. That sentiment is certainly true for our family this year. On the day of Chrismas Eve of 2008, I had the honor of praying with Carson for him to receive Christ. There's nothing more precious than knowing that not only are our children listening to us when we talk about God's love for them and the amazing sacrifice that was made, but knowing that they are taking those words to heart.
What a special moment it was to be there to listen to my 4 1/2 year old boy talking to our Savior and asking Him to come into his heart and "stay there forever". Carson was thrilled and immediately called his Dad, his Papa and Grandma and that night at church told his news to Pastor Bob, Uncle Mike & Aunt Katie and couldn't wait to tell Grandma Dora later at her house.
My prayer for Carson is that he always remembers how excited he was and he doesn't lose that childlike faith and my prayer for myself is the same! What a wonderful Christmas gift for us!
