About a week after Jouke passed my little man asked that I pray with him for Jesus to come and live in his heart. WOW! what a moment. At 4 he had made a personal relationship with Jesus. Jouke wanted so badly for his kids to know Jesus and he would be so delighted to know that Tiaan gave his life.
That said, I have been wondering how real a little boys' conversion could be. Does he understand? These things have been plaguing me, until this weekend.
We were driving to some friends' house for dinner and a some country song, about the war, was playing on the radio. Something in the song, about men giving their lives for others, got Tiaan's attention.
He said: "That's like Jesus".
"How?" I asked.
"You know how He had to die on the cross for our sins so that we can live forever, like that".
WOW!
And then he continues, "Its like how Pappa had to die once and now he can live forever, with Jesus."
Big WOW!
What a comfort to know that Tiaan understands. He gets the magnitude of God's grace and he understands that life for believers does not end, rather we are blessed with eternity, in heaven, with God.

Wow that is just amazing, don't we have an awesome God, because we know its all his doing.
I have just read your blog with tears running down my face, although I do not know you (I clicked on a link from a sewing blog).
I am so sorry for your loss but I'm glad that your love of God is helping you through this awful time of readjustment without your husband here.
Its wonderful that you have 3 children who a part of him will live on through.
