Well today was an exciting day for the Hall family. Like we had been doing each day this week, the kids were picked up from VBS at Champion Forest. However, this was not a normal day as we prepared to celebrate Uncle Christopher's B-Day. At VBS pickup Cade's teacher handed us a brown package as we were informed that Cade had accepted Christ! We had been talking with Cade about what it means to have Jesus in your heart and he had been asking lots of really good questions but we weren't expecting this great news. Turns out after the class Bible study the kids were asked if anybody would like to learn more about accepting Christ. Cade and two other kids in his class raised their hands. He was then taken to the sanctuary where he met with Pastor Timmy Jeltema during which time they discussed questions about sin, forgiveness and his need for it, and why Jesus died on the cross. After some discussion Cade made the personal decision to accept Christ and as parents we could not be more thrilled and proud for him.
So after talking with Cade at home about his decision we headed out to celebrate Uncle Christopher's birthday at The Shack. Cade decided that he would tell Christopher and everybody else the good news as presents were being opened. This is because he said that would be the best gift to give. Of course, he was right. Everybody was so excited for him. We can not wait to see where Christ takes you Cade and how you grow in Him!
Discussion with Cade:
Why did you accept Jesus?
- Because I wanted to have eternal life with God.
Why did you need to accept Jesus to have eternal life?
- I am sinner and needed his forgiveness. Sin keeps you away from God.
What did Jesus do so that He could forgive you?
- He died on the cross for me and then came back to life.
