WHAT CHILDREN HAVE TO SAY ABOUT SNOW, SALVATION, BAPTISM AND BABIES

         It's snowing here in KY...again! Stephen (7) asked me how God made the snow. Well, Silas (5) being the genius he is, said "I know, I know!" I said "Well, Silas, tell Stephen how God made the snow."
        "God takes sugar in a jar and puts it inside a snow cone. Then he shakes it up and drops it from where he lives in heaven." So there you go folks - How God makes snow! ~ Elizabeth in Kentucky

        Thought you might love to hear that Elise (4) accepted Christ as her Savior last Wednesday, and Laura (9) was able to be baptized on Sunday by her daddy, Bill!  Elise's Sunday school teacher has been teaching the kids that you can talk to God no matter where you are, and Elise has been asking lots of questions about salvation, sin, Jesus, etc.  We could tell she was starting to put all the pieces of the puzzle together in her heart and mind. ~ Tracy in Ecuador

        Last Wednesday Elise came home from AWANA, came bounding down the stairs, went in to use the bathroom, and came out with a big smile.  "Mom, guess what?  I asked Jesus to be my Savior!" she said.  "Wow!" I replied (choking back tears of joy), "Did you do that at Cubbies tonight?"  "No," she said, "I did it in the bathroom!" ~ Tracy in Ecuador

        Last Saturday Elise said, "Mom, guess what!  Laura's going to get Bibletized tomorrow at church!"  So we've had our first official "Bibletism!" ~ Tracy in Ecuador

        Three year old Mariah, was visiting her new little cousin, Bryce. She was holding Bryce on her lap, and he was making newborn baby sounds. Bryce's grandmother said to Mariah, "Oh, I think he likes you. He's talking to you. What's he saying?" 

        Mariah said, "Me don't know. Him speak Spanish." ~ Linda in PA
