The Best Night Ever

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Shortly after my son's ninth birthday, he sent me this e-mail, detailing a night he spent wrestling with a very bad dream.

We've all spent such nights in battle, but I am touched by the simplicity and effectiveness of this nine year old boy's response to those trials.

It is a response born of acknowledged need and unfeigned faith. this young man knew that he was in over his head, and he believed that Jesus not only could help him, but wanted to to.

This post is short. Please do not gloss over it. Read it and "chew on it" like a cow chews grass; over and over. Please do not read it as an adult, but rather read it as the little child of God that you have been made through Christ Jesus; wide-eyed, trusting, and willing to take a chance because you know that Christ's love for you is real.

Be blessed by this pure example of a desperate need and a wondrous response from Christ Jesus our Lord. It is entitled "The Best Night Ever."

I love you all in Christ, fellow journeymen and journeywomen.....

hi dad!

last night I asked Jesus to give me a good dream to take the bad one away. And Jesus gave me a spinitual ride. In this dream he was giving me a bath and Jesus was giving me the bath . The water felt like the Holy Spirit was holding me . And that was the end of the story.

I LOVE YOU DADDY.
