Mara Lin has been asking tons of questions and talking a lot about salvation lately. Well, she doesn't use the term 'salvation', but rather says..
-Hey Mom, let's talk about sin again.
-Momma, does Jesus cry when we sin?
-When did you ask Jesus to be your forever friend?
She's really thinking a lot lately and learning so much. I'm not sure if she's 'there' yet, but if she's not 'there' then she's very close.
Several nights ago, I asked Phillip to talk to her to see what he thought and here's how the conversation went.....
Daddy: Mara, did you ask Jesus to be your forever friend?
Mara: I did, Daddy.
Daddy: What about your sin?
Mara: I told Jesus that I was sorry for my sins.
Daddy: How does your sin make Jesus feel?
Mara: It makes Him sad.
Daddy: That's right. So why do we get to go to heaven?
Mara: Huh?
Daddy: Do we get to go to heaven because we're good or because Jesus was good?
Mara: Huh?
Daddy: How do you get to heaven?
Mara: You die.
I was laughing so hard at that last response that the meaningful conversation was over. I LOVE all of her questions and her sweet, sweet faith though!

That is so sweet, Carrie.
Awwww.... That is too cute!
How very sweet that at such an early age she knows that without the talk of sin, how can you know you need a savior. That is too precious!
Girl, this one made my heart hurt in a good way.
God is doing such a good job through you two with your little sweeties!
Your girls are beautiful! What a precious story. Thanks for sharing. I love a 5 year olds wisdom. I have one myself that amazes me daily.
