Our Chrisitan deer

I have no picture to go with this post, but on Friday afternoon, Brian shot a large doe. After proudly showing the deer off to Sam, he turned it over to expose the inside cavity which was absent of any internal organs. This seemed to surprise Sam because he wanted to know "Where is the deer's heart?". Brian tried to come up with an explanation to satisfy a 3 year old, but Sam was still disappointed and exclaimed, "But dad, I wanted to see Jesus!" Confused by this statement, Brian inquired a bit more and Sam explained that he wanted to see Jesus inside the deer's heart! Isn't that the sweetest thing you've ever heard! I just about cried! He was so sincere and truly believes that Jesus literally lives inside our hearts. Don't you wish we could all have faith like a child? :)

That is such a cute story. It would be so nice to be able to see Jesus in someone's (or a deer's) heart, wouldn't it! Tell Brian congrats.

Leave it to Sam to say something like that. He's so mature in what he says. You're doing a great job teaching him. Tell him Gramma Judy loves him and is glad he has Jesus is his heart as well as the deer.
