Sharing God With Others

Last night we had a couple of visitors. Yup, you guessed it! Our lovely, local, Mormon missionaries. I was annoyed at first because I was nursing Cole so Cory got the door with Caden and Carter in tow. Of course, as you all know my husband, he didn't just say no thank you and turn them away. Cory engaged them in conversation and tried to get them talking about what they really believe. I didn't really pay attention to all of it, because the part I did hear was about Jesus revealing himself to people in America just a few hundred years ago and how the book of Mormon came to be...stuff I don't believe.

Anyway, Cory stood at the door and talked to them for almost 20 minutes and Caden and Carter stood there listening. Towards the end of the conversation, Cory was talking to them about how Jesus was our only salvation and the one way to get into heaven. I believe the missionaries had said earlier they weren't sure if they were going to heaven yet. So Caden became almost frantic..."Daddy, Daddy" he cried. I got Caden's attention and had him come over to the couch. I asked him what he wanted to tell Daddy so badly.

"Momma," he said, "I want to tell the people my verse."

"What verse baby?" I asked.

"My verse, I have seen your salvation, Luke 2:30" Caden said.

I told him, "Okay, just say excuse me and tell your daddy."

So Caden goes over to Cory, politely says excuse me, then proceeds to quote scripture to the Mormon missionaries! He said, "I heard you talking about salvation, and I want to share my verse with you."

Like Father, Like Son...sharing God and His Word with others! God took that moment to remind me to be thankful for the kind of man Cory is and the example he is setting for my boys.
