The Best Christmas Present of ALL!!!

Saturday night we were given tickets to a Christmas musical at a local church. The youth minister had given Jeff tickets at a youth ministers meeting and I had heard it was really good, so we decided to go as a family--I am so glad we did! The whole musical was about a little girl and at the end she asked Jesus into her heart. After the pastor came up and led everyone in a prayer, Emma asked Jeff if she said that prayer would Jesus be in her heart. Jeff said, " Well you know that you're a sinner and that Jesus died on the cross for you and rose again, the only thing you haven't wanted to do is make Him boss of your life (we have talked about this alot at home), are you ready to make Him the boss?" Emma said yes and Jeff said, " ok we can talk about it more at home." Emma said, " No, I want to do it right now." So right there during the offering Jeff got to lead Emma to the Lord. WE ARE SO EXCITED FOR HER. She was so excited about it and has decided to get baptized next Sunday. She told one of her friends about it on the way to school and then her teacher told me she told her about first thing this morning. What a great gift, a long prayed for and awaited gift.

I posted this pic b/c it was the only one I took at the musical--they had live camels--although now that doesn't even compare to how the night ended!!!
