Born again

I’d like to announce the birth of another child into our family, our spiritual family that is.  For some time now, we’ve had a pretty good idea that Charlotte was saved.  More recently, both Shannon and I have seen evidence of that in her actions and what she says, particularly when we study the Bible together as a family.  The other evening Shannon took the time to sit with Charlotte and ask her some questions about what she believes.  It was obvious where Charlotte stands as she shared with Shannon and later with me about how she believes that Jesus died on the the cross to pay the price for her sins.  She told us that she knows she can’t get to heaven because of her own good works, only by believing that what Jesus did is good enough.  This is exciting for us as parents, as now 3 of our children have expressed their faith in Him.  If as a missionary and a dad I never get to see any others come to know Christ as their Saviour, that’s ok.  He has allowed us the opportunity to bring the ones closest to us to Him.  That’s enough for me.
