Emma went with me to the church this evening to finish up the podcast stuff. We got out of the van and were walking to the door and she randomly says “Jesus says things to me sometimes.” Most things Emma says usually only gets an uh-huh out of me but that stopped me in my tracks. I bent down to her and asked her what He said. She kinda clammed up like she was embarrased and said, “I don’t know”. Hoping to lighten the conversation a little I just got up and held her hand again and continued walking to the church. She says, “He knows what he says to me.”
Hmm…I didn’t push it hoping she’d open up on her own but I really want to know what He says if He does talk to her. Lately she’s been asking the question “What cross did Jesus die on?” I try to understand and say he died on a tree and it was so long ago and I don’t know which tree but after He died, He rose again and went to live in Heaven but one day He’s coming back to get us. She just says,”Yeah, I know, you already told me that.” Well, at least I know she’s hearing me even if she doesn’t understand it all yet. I wonder if Jesus is telling her about Him?
