Dear Sam,
Today was such a special day. You have started back to school, but today you were with me all day, so I scheduled a play date with my friend Kara. You and her son are close in age, so we dropped off Mattox at school and headed to their house to play. You were very excited for this play date because they have hermit crabs. On the way to their house, you told me that you wanted to pray and ask God to come into your heart! I lead you in a prayer saying, "Dear God, I know that I am not perfect, and I want you to come into my heart and help me make good choices and be more like you. I want to give my life to you today. In Jesus name I pray, amen." As soon as we said amen, you said, "Mom…and He will NEVER EVER leave me, right?" I said, "That's right Sam. No matter how good or bad you are, He will never leave you. That is one of his promises, and God always keeps his promises."Once we got back to school to pick up Mattox, we told Mrs Pat, the director. She told you that all the angels in heaven are having a party and saying, "yayyyy Sam!" You liked to hear there was a party on your behalf.
Sam, today you totally made my heart melt. You are such a good, funny, sincere, and loving boy. I am so happy that you gave your life to Christ. I pray that you learn to develop the courage to let Him mold you into the man He calls you to be. I pray that you will practice saying "no" to yourself and "yes" to Christ going forward for the rest of your life. I love you Sam. My heart overflows.
Love always,
Mom
