Max & Jesus

Have you heard this story... A mom was at home with her newborn baby and three your old son. She was cooking in the kitchen and hadn't heard from her toddler in a while she walked towards the playroom and saw the nursery door had been opened where her newborn baby was napping. As she peeked into the nursery she saw the three year old on a stool looking at the baby. She poked her head in to get him when she noticed that the boy was taking to his new baby sister. To her amazement, she heard him say... " Hey, baby, do you remember what Jesus looks like cuz I'm starting to forget?"

Babies... they are so fresh from heaven. I wonder if they remember that beautiful face of our Savior. Which leads me to our story below...

I was carrying Max past the bookcase and I felt his headjerk to look at something on the shelf. As I traced his eyes, I noticed he was looking at the picture of Jesus and children on the front of this box of storycards. I would walk back and forthand he just couldn't take his eyes off of it. I said to Sam, "He remembers Jesus!!!" Sam said, "Ali, it's just a cartoon picture and kids like cartoons." I said, "No, he's fascinated!"

So, I took the Jesus card out and he just kept staring at it, and touching it and...
kissing it... well, eating it!!!
So, when I called Max's name... he just looked at me and I could feel him telling me, "Thanks, mom, for letting me play with my friend!"
