Before I began the story I have to give you a little background. Emma and I have had numerous discussions about asking Jesus into your heart and becoming a Christian. The last one we had was about a month ago. Emma asked about how you get to heaven. I told her you have to have Jesus in your heart. She then asked what heaven was like. I told her that I didn't know but from what the Bible says it is a wonderful place. Emma immediately asks if there will be free ice cream there. I said I didn't know but it sounds good. Emma ends the conversation with, "If there is free ice cream there then I want to go!"
Fast forward to last night at dinner. The kids and I are around the table eating (Derreck was working late) and I notice that Emma has her head down and her eyes closed. This is the conversation:
Me: Emma, are you okay?
Emma: Yes. Guess what Mom? I just asked Jesus into my heart.
Me: Really? Emma, that is awesome!
Abby: Well, now that means you have to be a good girl you know?
Me: Well, Emma, God knows you can't do that alone so that is why having Jesus in your heart will help you want to do good things.
Abby: Wait a minute. Emma, why did you ask Jesus into your heart?
Emma: Because I love Him!
Abby: Ok, then. I thought you were going to say it was because you wanted the free ice cream!
People, I can't make this up!!
