Pastor John,
Tonight felt so sweet. Token’s dream and the reading really brought a sweet feeling with them. Then the meeting was ending, and Gary and Joel began to sing about the wind. In our science class today, the kids and I were discussing “wind” in our study of the weather. I couldn’t help but ask the kids if they could see the wind, or if they could feel it and hear it instead. We discussed Nicodemus and what Jesus told him about being born again and how Jesus compared the new birth to the wind and the sound that is heard. So when Gary and Joel started singing about the wind, Daniel looked at me with excited eyes and a smile. Jesus does this very often, with our school days relating to something that is said in the meetings. It is so encouraging to me! Daniel was already sitting next to me on the love seat when the song began. After he heard it a little bit, he scooted on over next to me and snuggled up. Tears of thankfulness that Jesus is hearing and answering my prayers were wetting the top of his little head. Then he looked up at me and said very tenderly, “I love you, Mama.” It was one of those priceless, genuine moments. We couldn’t tell who it was that said they felt like hugging someone, but I squeezed Daniel a little tighter and smiled. I feel very thankful.
Goodnight,
Cris
