Oh, and I promised her that when she gets two charts completely filled (that is, two weeks), we'll go to the zoo, or World's of Fun, or the children's museum, or something.
Tonight at the dinner table, Miss M asked me if Jesus is in her heart. For some reason, I it's very difficult for me to find words to express the simple message of the gospel. I think it is because Christ's work on the cross is so profound to me, so central to my existence, so near and dear to my heart that I fear any words I choose will be inadequate or even detrimental in the understanding of its simplicity. I am so anxious for Miss M to give herself over to Christ as fully as I did at age 4, so she can grow up as a "good Christian girl" and avoid the heartache and lostness I see in my siblings. Of the three of us, I am the only one who never had to learn the hard way.
I know that it is the Holy Spirit that moves a heart to repentance. I pray He may draw Miss M unto Christ and that I may please the Lord in the way that I mother my children.
I really like this. I'm going to make one almost exactly like it. Thank you!
