It has been a busy weekend with baccalaureate on Friday, graduation Saturday, and the baby dedication ceremony at church on Sunday! Our church only has this ceremony a couple times a year, so we didn't want to delay it until next time. Grace was so excited to be on stage Sunday and she wanted to sing like Daddy. She got really tickled when she noticed herself on the big screen by the stage and started pointing and saying in her big voice, "Look, it's Gracie!" and waving at herself. She loved carrying around the white Bible that was "Gracie's. Not Mommy's!" and she wanted us to read it to her at bedtime, so I turned the pages and gave her the Reader's Digest condensed book version:
God made the world, the trees, the sky, the animals, and all the people. Then God sent Jesus to Earth to save us because people did bad things. Jesus died on the cross and went to heaven. One of these days, Jesus will come back and take all of us to heaven to live with him because heaven is a wonderful place where no one cries or is ever hurt or sad. Her response was, "I love Jesus. I want to go see it. I go tomorrow."
Monday morning the first thing she said to me was, "We go to heaven today. See Jesus. Okay?" Children have amazing faith.
