Godly Witness

Last night after Cory's game we headed over to Lotsa Noodles for dinner. There was an ad in the paper for buy one get one free entree so we decided to take advantage of it. I am telling you this because the cashier didn't get it so we had to spend some time dealing with the manager to get our free entree, etc. She was back and forth from our table quite a bit and after the 3rd time Caden leaned over to Cory and whispered, "Dad, give her one of your cards."

****side note****
Cory has these cards that are the size of a business card that say "Is there more to this world that what we currently see?" and on the back it talks about life after death in heaven, eternity, has John 3:16 on it and an email if they have questions. He gives these to just about anyone, cashiers everywhere, waitresses, people in gas stations, etc. You know Cory...our little evangelist!

Back to the story, we weren't sure what "card" Caden was talking about so we asked him. "you know, your card with the earth on it!" We kept asking and he wouldn't say anymore. Finally he leaned over to us and whispered, "you know, your card that talks about Jesus!" We asked him why he wanted us to give the lady that card. He replied that is what Daddy always does!

This opened up an entire discussion on witnessing. We were able to explain why Daddy passes out those cards and why people need to hear about Jesus! It was so encouraging and fun to see Cory teaching Caden about God's great commission!

Thank you LORD for giving me such a Godly husband and father to my children! Thank you for Caden's curiosity as well. May we continue to be an example for him and to continue to share our faith with others. LORD, help me to follow Cory's example and use his cards more often with the people I come in contact with. Continue to grow Caden's curiosity so that one day he will want to tell others about you! Also continue to give him the desire to know more about you! Thank you for the opportunity and responsibility to teach him about you! Be with Cory and me as we teach him!
