The Best Present of All!

To all of you with whom I have already shared this story, bare with me. . . . but, it is just too precious for me to forget, so I really want to log it here.  

A few weeks ago, we were all at dinner and Kelan said to me, "Mommy, when I die, and go to heaven, I am going to give God and Jesus a present."  As the theology starts rolling around in my mind about how we are to come to God with nothing, that He accepts us as we are and that we are to accept HIS gift of Jesus' righteous covering over us and that there is nothing we can give Him and that  everything is His, I stop and think: Kelan is just 4 he is not looking for correction or a theology lesson.  So, I say, "That is so sweet, Kel, what would your present be?"  

He simply replies, "My heart," and continues eating.  What profoundness, and from such, "innocence".  This little guy understands more about "God and Jesus" than most grown-ups do.  I see such a beautiful picture of Kelan holding this little wrapped package with a BIG bow up above his head to God.  And God, just smiling at him.  I love it!  

I better go get mine packaged and wrapped, I hope your are too!
