Last night as Levi was saying his prayers before bed he and Aaron had this conversation.
Levi: "Does Jesus talk to me?"
Aaron: "He sure does. He talks directly to you. Will you listen to Him when He speaks to you?"
Levi: "Please!" (Please is Levi's way of saying yes).
This ministered so much to my heart. We work really hard to teach our kids about God, and to see that my two year old is listening to what we are teaching encourages me to continue doing what we are doing.
"...I asked for all things that I might enjoy life. I was given life that I might enjoy all things. I got nothing that I asked for, but everything I hoped for. Almost despite myself, my unspoken prayers were answered. I am, among all men, most richly blessed.”
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”
Joshua 24:14-16

I know you are glad to see that Levi doesn't just repeat back what you tell him to say bu that he is taking it all in and thinking for himself and seeing that Jesus is real and loves him and speaks to him. I pray that he would be like Samuel and hear the Lord and respond to him in his youth. I'm so proud of that little guy every day and can't wait to see what all the Lord has in store for him. Keep living differently so that the world around you might see the hope, peace, and joy in your lives. Love you!
very sweet jill... i feel the same way whenever my kids say and do the same things.. jones told me the other day that he's been praying that he can make good choices.. all i could do was just hug and kiss him, as my heart was sooo happy...
