Jesus

"Mama, could Jesus have changed his mind?" Tad

"About what Tad?"

"Dying, dying on the cross to save us from our sins."

"Yes Tad, he could have." My son turns to look at me from the spot where he is laying on the floor listening to Christmas music. He looks at me long and his eyes fill with tears. They dont spill. He looks away.

Its pretty neat when the gift of salvation becomes more than words. I marvel that my near 8 year old just felt it. And on thanksgiving day.
