since some of the 'guys' have lightened the postings with  sports  :)
I thought it might be permissible for Grandma to rejoice over  a child's 
prayer!
My 3 year old grandson, Chandler, stays with us while Mommy  attends nursing 
school, and works.   He spends 2 nights each week,  sometimes 3 nights.
Tonight, when I was getting him to bed, he asked "Is Jesus in  our hearts?"   
Sleep was delayed a bit while we talked about  Jesus.   He asked if he could 
open his door and have Jesus come  in.   We prayed for Jesus to be in his 
heart.
Sure, I know he's only 3, and does not understand the first  thing about 
theology!   But, he has heard enough just being in our  home- and Mommy talks to 
him, too - that his heart is tender.   He  insists when we pray before meals 
EACH time we must pray for Mommy.    Today, he started naming his cousins, too.  
He asks lots of questions, so  this is not the first conversation we have had 
about the things of  Christ.   Sometimes he seems to understand beyond his  
years.   I pray this means God's choice is on this child.
Just a happy Grandma!
Charlene
