Too important to forget

I want to make sure I write down a few really special things so that I don't ever forget them.

First of all, on Wednesday night (March 2) we were all sitting in the rec room after dinner. I was telling Craig about my day and how I had a conversation with one of my co-workers about the end times.  My co-worker asked if I believed in the people who were saying May 21 is it.  I told him...I don't really believe it, but I'm ready none the less.  It led to a good conversation about heaven with this co-worker.  Well, as Craig and I were talking my conversation at work...and about heaven and several books about heaven...Connor was sitting next to me.  As of a sudden he says quietly..."I talk to Jesus about that in my brain."  I asked him to repeat himself...he did and added  that he believed in Jesus and wanted to be with Him in heaven.  :)  My heart swelled.  He went on to say that when he gets to heaven he wants to see Sam our dog.  We talked a little more abut what he believed and how happy we were that he wanted to follow Jesus.  At bedtime I kneeled next to his bed and prayed with him. 

On Fridyay night, (March 4) Craig went to Philly to pick up his mom at the airport.  I was alone with the boys and decided we should do a few special things.  So, we made soft pretzels.  It was fun...a little messy...but fun.  The boys rolled their own and made special shapes.  When I got the finished pretzels out of the oven I put cinnamon and sugar on them and passed them to the boys.  I broke Mitchell's into smaller pieces so it would be easier for him.  Well, Mitchell sobbed!!!!  I couldn't stop him from crying..and was at the same time trying to monitor the next batch.  Bless Connor's heart...he walked over and started feeding Mitchell his own pretzel.  (a heart shape he worked really hard on making)  Mitchell calmed down and thoroughly enjoyed the special treatment from Connor.

THEN...Jackson got upset because his pretzel was to crispy and I wouldn't let him just eat dough.  He started sobbing.  Again, nothing I did worked....but Connor put his hand on Jackson's shoulder and spoke quietly and sweetly to him until he stobbed crying.

THEN...I got out a Scooby-Doo video that Craig had bought that afternoon for the boys to enjoy.  They got soooo excited.  Connor immediately said...let's thank the Lord!  I was taken aback.  He went on to bow his head...encouraging his brothers to do the same....and said a prayer of thanks.  He thanked Jesus that Daddy would be so nice as to get a special video..and that Daddy would get home safe. Wow.   Then he said...God please send this message to Daddy so he knows how happy we are that he got this video.  :)

I started the video...then called Craig to tell him.  I was so pleased.  Craig's reaction...We must be doing something right!

We are so blessed.
