My cup runneth over

“Our purpose is to please God, not people. He alone examines the motives of our hearts.” 1 Thessalonians 2:4

We gathered our things to head to church. Avery and I were finishing up talking about the 10% he was to give to Jesus. Dax at this point had taken a handful of change that had fallen on the floor and made a mad dash outside. Avery and I grabbed our stuff and out we went. As I was getting everything in the car I noticed Dax had ran around the corner of the house and I could hear him talking. So I walked around to get him when I saw my 1 ½ year old little boy lifting up his money to the sky and saying, “Here you go Jesus, here is your money.”  

I walked over to pick him up when he looked at me and said, “Mommy I give Jesus my money” and he lifted it up to the sky. I pulled him in close and said, “Daxie Jesus is so pleased. Mommy is so proud of you.”  In that very moment my heart overflowed joy.

As we began making our way to the car I could hear Jesus say, “Kristi I am so pleased.”   

It has been my deepest desire to please the Lord in all ways. I want please Him from a depth within me that only He can reach, and tonight He showed me a glimpse of its depth through the action of my baby boy.

Jesus is pleased when I instill the love of God within my two little boys. He is pleased when I live by example and show them and teach them the word of God and how to have a personal relationship with their Heavenly Father.

And for me there is no greater reward than knowing my babies love Jesus passionately at a young age and are already developing a one on one relationship with Him. Garrett and I have only one job and that is to ensure that our boy’s spend eternity in Heaven.

Prayer: Lord thank You for my precious babies and their desire to know You. Lord we represent more than just the Morgan name we represent You and I pray that as we walk this earth we will not only represent You but that we will please You in all we say and do. Lord continue to fill Avery and Dax with wisdom beyond their years and guide Garrett and I to be the parents You have called us to be. Lord these babies are Yours and we gave them to You a long time ago, take them and use them, make them stewards and lovers of Your word. Amen
