The Heart of a Child

The other day we were driving in the car, and Aile was talking to me about how she wanted to give her heart to Jesus so He would help her be more like Him. She said all she wanted for Christmas this year is Jesus in her heart. I told her that was very sweet, and that I had great news: she didn't have to wait until Christmas! Jesus would come into her heart any time she asked Him to! So right there, she prayed about it. It was a touching prayer, and I was silent for a few minutes after, just thinking about what it meant. The kids were silent too.

Then, about 5 minutes later, Caelum breaks the silence with this prayer: "Dear Jesus, the open door. Amen."

I asked Caelum what the open door was that he was praying about. He clasped his hands together excitedly and grinned at me. "The open door to my heart!" he exclaimed.

Awesome!
