If I had one wish....

What would be the typical response to this question if you asked a child??? How about a 12 year old boy??? This evening The Boy shared with me that he would LOVE to be able to be RIGHT THERE next to Jesus when he comes back. He wants to have front row seats to see just what Jesus is going to do to Satan. THEN, he wants to be able to witness that event to others...share it with HIS kids and others. He's torn because he knows that once Jesus returns that we will all have better knowledge of God's plans and once Christ does come back everyone will already know that he (The Boy) was there to see what Jesus did and that he won't be able to witness to others about it the way he wants. The best I could do was tell him that maybe God wants him to witness Christ to others now in a different way. It's hard for me to fully describe the conversation because I was just so in awe of the words coming out of his mouth! But his passion and faith were filling the room with LIGHT! He's a pretty spiritually mature kiddo...he amazes me! He makes me proud. He has deep ROOTS!! Praise GOD!!! I also feel like I need a Theology degree to have a conversation with my 12 year old! I certainly do NOT have all the answers that he may want to hear or even need to hear. BUT, I do have ears to listen and sometimes that's all kids want....except mine, who wants to witness first hand the second coming of Christ. Bless his sweet, sweet heart.

If I had one wish it would be to instill the same passion and light in my children!
