Out of the mouthes of babes.

Maybe a lesson in faith, but definitely an eye opening conversation took place between our daughter and her son, our precious 4 year old grandson, Aden.

Some of you reading this may know, but for those who don't I will give a little background. Two years ago our 15 year old son, Izaak, was killed in a freak and tragic car accident. This loss has left a hole in our lives that will never be filled. Aden at the time was 2 years old.

Life has progressed and little Aden is growing up, like many young children he has a tendency to make up little songs as he goes about his day. Well lately he started singing bible related songs, songs about Jesus, God and Heaven. His mother noticed this and found it peculiar because Aden has not attended and bible schools or Sunday school yet. So finally her curiosity got the best of her and she asked him where he learned those songs. This is where the story got very interesting.

Aden told her that Izaak taught them to him, surprised she asked him when Izaak had taught him these songs. Aden calmly responded that Izaak talks to him everyday and that is when the teaching had happened. Our daughter then asked him what else Izaak had said to him, to which he responded, He tells me that God loves me.

Of course we were not surprised to hear that God loves our little Grandson, but the way that God chose to relay that info to Aden was a bit of a surprise.

If you needed a little reassurance or needed to add another stone to your wall of faith, maybe this is it.

That's all from the farm today.
Thanks for reading
Bill

Bill ~ I cried when I read this; I truly believe that the Lord works in mysterious ways. Kyle's Grandpa Al (Partlow) died a year before he was born, and when Kyle was about 2-3 years old he told us a story. When shown a picture of Al, & was told who he was.....Kyle said he already knew who it was. We asked him how and Kyle replied "I met him in Heaven; he told me I could come down & live with you!" I believe Izaak is with us all the time, and I'm sure he is little Aden's guardian angel. Love, Marlene
