Noah Hatcher Kroon, you bring tears of joy to me tonight as I think about how precious it was to hear you accept Jesus into your heart. You are always one to be silly but you repeated daddy's prayer with such heartfelt seriousness and we are so thrilled that you now believe that Jesus is your Savior!
Noah, for keepsakes... this is how the last couple months have gone as your heart began searching for THE truth. After every devotion, we would explain the importance of having Jesus in our hearts so that we can go live with Jesus in Heaven. And you would interrupt and say "ummm, I don't want to go to Heaven!" Oh my, that is not something any mom would want to hear but I would reply "Noah, when you want to learn more about Jesus and what He did for you... just ask us and we will tell you more" Then the very next morning, you would hear more in our morning devotion time!!! ;)
Well, tonight at the supper table, Parker and I were talking about the meaning of a Nicole Nordeman song that was singing in my head... "by your wounds, we are healed". And, Parker wanted to tell you more about how Jesus died on the cross. You see, your brother has wanted you to accept Jesus in your heart ever since he became a Christian on March 1st, 2008. Parker's explanation must have sparked interest because then you two started talking more about how to ask Jesus in your heart after we put you two to bed.
Moments later, Parker came running upstairs saying, "Mom, you have to come down here because Noah wants to ask Jesus in his heart!!!" YAY!!! So, we dropped what we were doing... to come down to a giggly YOU!!! You managed to calm down and prayerfully repeat every word after dad! What a perfect ending to our night...
The two "Fishtian" brothers! Parker was smiling from ear 2 ear knowing that his brother is now a Christian, too!
And, we just had to wake Savannah up to celebrate in the exciting time in your life!!! We love you Noah and we will keep praying that Jesus will become more real to you, every day of your life!
