Last night was a rough one for Jack. He had a very hard time sleeping with a lot of things happening in his mind. After two blessings and some prayers he eventually fell asleep. At some point in the night he came in and asked me if he could turn on the light and sleep with it on in his room. Andy had already found his way into my bed so I said sure. He told me this morning how in the night when he was scared he searched I Am a Child of God on You Tube on an I Pod. Anyway, he listed a few songs that he listened to and that brought him comfort in the night. I am a Child of God, I'll Go Where You Want Me to Go, and Praise to the Man. What a stud.
Tonight after FHE and scripture and prayer we were upstairs, I was doing some laundry stuff and Jack had the I Pod and was listening to this music again. On came I am a Child of God. He sang along with it. He knows it well. He got emotional. It was pretty special. He told me that he wanted to stand and share his testimony right there in the middle of his room. He did. It was a neat thing. Jack has a strong desire to serve the Lord and to do what it right. He just came down a few minutes ago and asked me to give him a blessing so he can understand God's words. That is a line from I am a Child of God; help me to understand his words before it grows to late. Grateful for his example and his faith.
