Childlike faith - part 3

I don't know about anybody else, but it's a daunting task to try and explain all about Jesus and His free gift of salvation in concrete rather than abstract terms.
Brady is a concrete thinker. The sky is blue, the grass is green and candy is sweet. The whys and hows have never really plagued him.
When we began to question him a little bit on what exactly he understands about God and Jesus...his answers were simple and direct - gotta love him for the way he thinks. Here's a sample of some of his answers, starting with his question of "How do I become a Christian?".

Mommy - "Brady, do you believe that Je- (before I even finished)
Brady - "I believe everything about Jesus. I believe He died on the cross and I believe He rose again 3 days later." "Did you know there were bad people on the cross beside Jesus?"
Mommy - "Yeah, you're right...there were 2 men on either side of Him. But, why did Jesus have to die on the cross?"
Brady - "Because of my sin."
Mommy - "What are some ways that you sin?"
Brady - "Kicking, punching, pushing, being bad"
Mommy - "Okay...good...and what are some ways that mommy and daddy sin?"
Brady - (with a big smile on his face) "Yelling, and fighting with each other, and being mean to each other".
Mommy - "That's exactly right. And what was the punishment for our sin?"
Brady - "We have to die and we don't get to go to heaven."

After a few more questions...he wanted to pray and ask Jesus to forgive him of his sins...so we led him through a simple prayer following the process we teach the kids on Discovery Street. A-admit you are a sinner and can't ever be good enough. B-believe that Jesus died on the cross to pay the punishment for your sins and rose again 3 days later. C - confess your sins, repent and receive God's forgiveness.
It was such a blessing to be there with him when he made this decision and to pray through this together with him. After we were done, I said a short prayer thanking God for loving Brady and drawing Brady to Himself and sending His Son to give us a way back to Him, and then when I was done Brady said he wanted to pray again too.
His prayer was short but very sweet. He thanked God for loving him and for letting him become a Christian. He thanked God for his new video games because he loves them and they are so much fun and then He ended his prayer with this statement..."God - I just double love you."

As I sit back and look at all the events that happened today leading up to this event...it amazes me to see God's hand guiding all of it. I don't think it was a coincidence that our summer curriculum didn't come in...it was the tool that made us start thinking outside the box...which led me to Lifeway to search for devotional books...which led me to test one out on my son...which led him to ask some good questions...which led us to have a great conversation with him...which led him to want to be forgiven of his sins because wants to be in heaven with Jesus someday.
God's hand is all over the place, but we don't always step back to see it. I'm just glad I saw it today!
