It was a "precious moment!" Our four-year-old son Joey had just knelt with Mom and asked Jesus to come into his heart. Picking up his little t-shirt, he looked down at the "appropriate place" and said, "Jesus, are You in there?" It was a priceless memory for the baby book too--and for heaven's Book of Life, where the names of all God's children are written and remembered! The Lord Jesus Christ was the welcome Guest in a little boy's heart that day, too young to know deep theology or debate a doctrinal thesis, too young to memorize the Gospel of John or the Book of Acts, but old enough to feel God's love drawing him to a loving Lord. A special moment indeed which he--and Mom--will never forget!

"They and their children and their grandchildren after them will live there forever?
I will make my home among them. I will be their God, and they will
be my people. Ezekiel 37:25,27 (NLT)
Their eyes lit up when my husband and I entered the classrooms. They eagerly introduced us to the room full of excited children and other smiling grandparents.

Don't give away your blessings
By the way you choose to live.
Don't throw away your riches
By the way in which you give.
As you cast upon the water
So it will return to you.
And as you share with others,
God will share His wealth too.

Love holds on.
Love is strong,
Never wavers, never bends,
Is truer than any friend.
Love survives.
Love always tries,
Never ceases to amaze,
Lives beyond any grave.
You may ask why love tries,
Gives its all, even dies,
As Jesus died for us?
That's what love does.
Love is strong,
Never wavers, never bends,

"Do you know where I am?"
"Where am I going now?"
I've been hearing these similar questions lately, asked with the same heart-wrenching look of confusion and a trace of fear. I've seen and heard people say these things before. I've seen them enter into the disturbing realm of dementia and thought, how sad when the elderly so often seem to revert to a child-like dependence.
