My little Zander-man often has nighttime confessions . He tells me about things he's done that he is sad he chose to do. Some of them make me laugh a little on the inside of course. He is always very sad and sincere about them no matter the severity . Tonight he came out and said that he had been asked Heavenly Father to forgive him and he didn't feel like he has. We talked for awhile about what it feels like to be forgiven and then he went off to his room. I went to check on him and to make sure he wasn't crying anymore - he had just gotten done saying another prayer and was crying again. He told me that he was crying tears of joy because he knew Heavenly Father did forgiven him. I am always amazed at how close to God my children are at such a young age and how they really get this thing called life. They understand things that I didn't understand until I was an adult. I often wonder what might lie ahead of them and why they came into this world with such strong desires to do what is right. I pray that their daddy and I can help direct their paths along the same road they have already clearly chosen. I sure love them.
