Awe a bit of peace and quite. My children are at awanna having a great time and I can recap on a really wonderful day. It started with the awanna lessons. I was going over the lesson with the two older ones, reading through their verses and discussing Jesus talking about being born again. The study was on John chapter 3. Jesus talks about the holy spirit. So we talked about the trees swaying in the wind and how we can't see the wind just the movement of the trees makes the wind apparant. And how that is similar to the holy spirit. We can't see it we can only see the affects of it in peoples lives. The verse then led us to talk about Jesus dying on the cross for our sins and Kaylie asked if Jesus died to get out of here? (It was something to that affect) ;O) I told her that he died so that the holy spirit could come and live inside of us. I explained that the holy spirit can wisper to our spirits when GOD wants us to go and give someone a hug. I told her it can give us direction and warn us about things. GOD uses the holy spirit as one way of talking to us. When we ask the Lord to forgive our sins and ask Jesus to come and live in our hearts he fills our hearts with the holy spirit. She put her playdoe down and folded her little hands together and said Jesus please forgive my sins and come and live in my heart. She then picked up her playdoe and started cutting out animal cookie shapes. And that was that.
