Heaven rejoiced with us last night
as....
Abby asked Jesus to be her Savior!!!!
She has been asking many, many questions for months. We have answered each one with excitement knowing God was working on her heart, wooing her to himself.
Many have planted seeds in Abby's heart teaching her about Jesus and some have watered those seeds and last night (actually, early this morning) August 7th at 12:30 a.m. Carrie Anne had the honor and privilege of leading her sister to Christ! How absolutely precious!
This is what it is all about!! The only thing we can take with us to heaven are souls, the busyness of this earth does. not. matter! The disappointments of the day all fade away when your sweet daughter excepts Christ as her personal Savior.
As the hymn states:
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in his wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim
in the light of his glory and grace.
Abby was so excited last night she could not stop giggling and smiling, we talked a lot and one of the sweetest things I want to remember, she said....
Carrie Anne loves me because I am her sister and now I get to be with her forever in heaven too, as she grabbed Carrie Anne and hugged her. Only God! What a sweet, precious bond!
Praising God at our house!!!
Joining you in thanksgiving!
