Do you remember the Lankford's I blogged about here? Last night Joey told me a sweet story about their family that made my heart melt.
As he was tucking 3-year-old Baron into bed the other night, he prayed with Baron as he always does. In Joe's prayer that night he said:
"Lord, as my son Baron sleeps tonight may he know that his dad loves him...
and that Jesus loves him.
May he know that Jesus loved him so much...
that He came to earth...
died on a cross....
and is coming back again someday to get him....
and take him to heaven.”
Joe said he was deep in prayer and on a roll when as soon as he prayed the part about heaven, Baron started giggling, interrupted Joey and said,
“Dad… Can Jesus just take me to Tennessee?”
Well you know the rest :)
LOVE IT!!!
Just wanted to say hi. I do read and an enjoying your blog. I have a fear of over-commenting so I err on the other side. But want you to have the satisfaction of knowing peeps are reading what you're writing. Loved the story of Naziwe, the explanation of townships, the picture of that gorgeous sunset, and the pics of the local animals. Keep on keepin' on. :)
