The Sugar Creek Gang and the Swamp Robber

Who'da thunk - The simple choices you make as a mom (or a mom lead by Jesus) while at the library to pick a smile book for your child to read can make such an impact.  

Last night Banana was getting a shower and I was brushing my teeth and he said, "Hey mom, when did you ask Jesus into your hear"?  I was starting my life long well I was three, I don't really remember it exactly but I think you accept Jesus along your life as you mature.....speech.  Banana politely listened and then said.  Well you know how I always ask Jesus into my heart like every night I pray....I didn't really mean all that but a few weeks ago I ask him into my heart for real. 

I was a little speechless I must say.  I ask him what made him ask Jesus into his heart "for real" and he said, "oh it was that book you got me from the library - the Sugar Creek Gang and the Swamp Robber".  So we talked a little more about the book and the lessons he learned from it and how it prompted his heart to really see the need for Jesus.   It was great! 

I totally know it is not that "I" picked the book that day.  I get it was Jesus but it is all so amazing how this Christian life works isn't it?  I didn't have any idea when I picked that book up it would prompt his heart to call out mercy but God did.....and that is so special!
