Church Book Store

Recently Terry and I took Jamison with us to Seagull Bookstore. There is a revolving rack of postcard and wallet size prints of Jesus in the back that Jamison likes to hang out at while we shop around. This day while we were looking at some books Jamison suddenly began yelling for us, "Guys come here, guys come here!!!!" We went over to see what all the shouting was for and he said, " Look it's Heavenly Father Jesus, It's Heavenly Father Jesus, He holds me sometimes" Whaaatttt?!?!?!

This was a new picture, one we hadn't seen before and it has a slightly different depiction of what Jesus would look like but it struck a cord with Jamison for sure.

Jamison continued on in his usual, can't get the words out quite as fast as he is thinking them mode, " Oh yes it is Heavenly Father Jesus, he knows my name, Jamison, he knows me!!" He kept repeating this with a huge smile on his face.

Well Terry and I just stared at each other speechless. Finally I asked him if he would like me to buy the picture for him that by this time he was clutching with both hands and he replied as he placed it back with a sort of giggle., " No mom, I will know him when he comes, he is coming." And with that he put it away and calm as a cucumber walked off.

Yep I was in tears. It doesn't help that for several days the week before as soon as I went to get him up in the morning in his sleepy little boy voice the first thing he said to me was, " Jesus is coming, he is coming to work."

Now what does it all mean, I can't say for sure. Does it freak me out a little, sure. Does it make me want to really make sure I have my act together, Oh Yeah!! But mostly it makes my heart swell and brings tears to my eyes as it testifies of the love our Savior has for all of us and how lucky our little ones are to still have that connection with him and our Heavenly Father. I know they especially love our little children, we can surely understand that as parents. I am so grateful he still gets to have this special time with them in what ever capacity it is as I know soon enough he will get older and get caught up in life and not have the connection come as easily as it does now.
