Alexis had the privilege of helping Preston pray to have Jesus come into his heart. I'm so sad to have missed it, although I did hear them praying but was so into whatever I was doing to actually listen to what they were saying.
Alexis came in very excited and said Preston just asked Jesus into his heart. So I asked Preston about it, of course Alexis kept inserting her comments & had to be reminded that it's Preston's news.
Preston said he just asked Jesus into his heart. I asked him why we do that, he said "I don't know". I asked him what he prayed, he said "I don't know". But he knew that Jesus was in there now.
Alexis asked Preston if he'd like to pray & ask Jesus into his heart & he said, "Okay". So she told me the part of the prayer she remembered, "Come into my heart as holy & forgive me of my sins". Amen!!
We called the grandparents to share the news & he told his Papa "You ask Jesus in your heart when you go to Heaven". Now that he did, he wants to make sure his Papa is going there too.
I was a little skeptical about him understanding this at 3 1/2, but Mom just told me that my brother was 3 when he prayed by himself & just informed her that he did it. He probably gets it & we'll just keep reminding him what he did. I'm sure Alexis will do that for us anyway.
