I’ve prayed since my dad died that there would be people that come to know the Lord, and that seeds would be planted in the hearts of many.  I’ve even prayed specifically that Luke’s heart would be ready for Jesus too! I think Pop would be crying tears of Joy if he knew that Luke was close to knowing Jesus!

Luke had a really rough day Wed afternoon.  Anger.  My mom and I boiled it down to Pop’s death.  He’s still dealing with it all and will be for a long time as we all are in our own ways.  Luke’s way seems to be anger.  I hate seeing that in such a young guy.  I just love my Mom so much.  She was able to have a good heart to heart talk with Luke and really helped him realize that God has our days numbered! Pop did all he could but God wanted Pop.  Sometimes we think Luke might think my dad didn’t TRY HARD ENOUGH to get better.  We think he might be mad at Pop and she was good about clearing that up and showed him that God was ready for him to be in heaven.  And there will be a time for each of us.  He came home in a much better frame of mind and good mood.

I’m sure there will be more days to come of sadness and heartaches about Pop.  I’m so thankful God is a God of comfort and I’m truly grateful that Pop KNEW JESUS because we can cling to the hope of getting to see him again.

That night Luke on his own asked Daddy “How do you get to heaven”?   We’ve shared the gospel MANY MANY times with all our kids but this was Luke’s first time asking on his own.  God is moving in Luke’s heart and we can see it!!

Oh Lord, I pray that you draw this little boy to you.  Take him and help him KNOW you and BELIVE in you and TRUST you as his Lord and Savior!!

He got to crash our date the other night too and was LOVING IT!
