A New Heart

Well just a few minuets ago I was putting up a litle Christmas tree on the big calender that we have and I asked Eli what was happening on Friday. First he said that we were going to the beach.
Then I pointed to Mary and Joseph and
Eli said "Baby Jesus!!!"
I said "Yes Eli that's right, that's when baby Jesus was born."
Eli asks, "Mommy why did baby Jesus have to be born"
I said, "Because when we were born, we were born with dark hearts, but when baby Jesus was born he had no darkness in his heart, His heart only had light. So he came so that we could have new hearts and He gives us a new heart and replaces our dark one with His heart that is light."
Eli says,"I'm gonna talk to Jesus for a new heart...so I can have his heart"
So then I asked him if he would like to pray with me and ask Jesus for a new heart. He said that he did, so he followed me in prayer. And said Amen when we were done
I asked Jeff this morning about this conversation cause we had a similar one yesterday, Jeff said to walk him through it and it's ok if he asks Jesus into his heart 12 times...it's the process of him figuring stuff out that matters. That was a relief to know that it's ok for him to be this little and make such a big descison!
What a great day!!!
