What can I give Jesus?
The other day, my 6 year old, Johnny, said to me, "Daddy, on Jesus's birthday, I want to give Him something special. What can I give Him?"
"Well, I have an idea, but I will have to tell you later." (since I was on my way to work.
"I know what you're going to say! You're going to say, give Him a Bible!"
"No..."
"I know! I know! You're going to say write a nice story about Him!"
"Not exactly.. Johnny do you know what the most special thing you can give Jesus is? It's you."
"What? I can't go up there?"
"No. You don't have to. You can just say to Him that you will be willing to go where He wants you to go and do what He wants you to do...for the rest of your life."
"But Dad, I'm nothing special."
"Oh, Johnny, you have no idea how special you are. Why don't you go tell mom about what we've been talking about and let her explain it some more." (since I was late for work)
Later, after I arrived home, I asked Tarah what Johnny had said to her.
She replied, "You know it was kind of strange. He walked in the kitchen and said that I needed to wrap him."
