Precious Children moments

My little E has a deep understanding for the Lord. Her spirit is so sweet and tender and she makes up love songs to Jesus- especially in the car. It is precious to listen to her sing from her heart about how much she loves Him! In my Operation Motherhood bible study class our homework was to take home this picture of a lamb and add a cotton ball on it for each word that defines what makes a lamb gentle. (I.E. soft, nice, etc.) We were working on the Fruit of the Spirit - gentleness. This is assignment was also preparation for Easter to talk and share with the kids about how Jesus was our lamb to be sacrificed for our sins. This was an easier assignment for E than S (the younger one.) At the end, E and I were talking and I was telling her that Jesus is the lamb and she cut me off immediately and looked me square in the eyes and said, "No, MOM, Jesus is our Shepherd and we are the sheep." Amazing moment! Melt my heart! Very exciting. I just looked at her and cupped my hands on her face and said, "Yes, honey you are right. He is our Shepherd." Too sweet.
When you talk about Jesus being raised from the dead S says, "Jesus died on the cross to save us!" I wish you could hear the expression and excitement in her voice. She doesn't quite understand, but she is getting there!
These moments are precious. Watching their faith develop is precious!
