Okay, so I was holding a grudge last night against the sweetest little girl around.....Jessi that is!
I just got done tucking the girls in bed. I was curled up on the top bunk laying next to Jess. We just finished drawing pictures on each other's backs. The topic for the past week or so has been Christmas. You know how the game works, right? I draw a Santa or Christmas tree on Jessi's back and she tries to guess what it is. Then her turn to draw a picture on mine. Tonight I drew a present and she draws JESUS! Yeah, she topped her mom with that one......that is the real meaning of Christmas, right! The one thing I've been trying to teach these girls the past few weeks......I guess it worked!
Oh, it gets better! Jessi then asks me what one thing do I want for Christmas? I proceed to ramble off a couple of things, and I ask her the same question.
She responds, "JESUS IN MY HEART!!!!!!!" Instant tears welled up in my eyes. This girl is just precious and I am so thankful God has blessed me with her.
After telling Jessi how proud I am of her and that having Jesus in her heart makes mommy so happy, Gracie decides that for Christmas she wants JESUS IN HER HEART too! Mission accomplished!
Today I am so thankful for my two girls and the love they have for Jesus. This is going to be a Christmas to remember!
