{I want Jesus to come}

Jaydon fell down earlier this morning. He came over to me and i held him while he cried. As he is crying he points to the picture of the temple that's on our wall. He says "When Jesus comes he will put a band-aid on it for me." I repeated what he said in the form of a question just to be sure i heard him correctly.  He said, "Yes, when he comes he will." I said, "Yes, he will."  Still crying, he said "I want Jesus to come." I said, "I know you do, so do i."  He said, "Yeah, i want Jesus to come."  He kept saying it as if he were talking about daddy. He says that about shane sometimes when he is at work. " i want daddy to come home". Anyway, He said that a few more times until he felt better. Then he goes over to his brothers , still kind of sad and says "I want Jesus to come."
I didn't know how to react inside. I felt sad for him, but at the same time it was such a sweet moment for him and I.  I really believe children are so much closer to the spirit world than we realize. We can learn a lot from them. They know certain things and sometimes i am surprised by some of the things they say when i feel like it is something we haven't really discussed.
I remember a few special moments with my children, and hopefully i blogged about them. I need to go look at my blog books i created to see if i posted them. There is one i might not have posted about.
Gavin was three months old. Still just learning to smile.  I was holding him. He was such a good little baby. I was walking him around our apartment and talking to him. I came up to the picture of Jesus and i pointed to it and said "That's Jesus". He stared straight at it for a moment and then he got a big smile on his face.  At that moment i realized he knew something more than i did. It was a special moment for me. I have always felt like kids are closer to the spirit world than i realize and they are closer to the way each of us should be. Christ-like.

So, this made me want to ask him a couple questions. I asked, "Do you know Jesus?" He smiled, nodded and said ,"Yes." I asked, "Who is he?  He said, "he sent us," and then pointed to our family picture we have hanging on our fridge. Jesus is in the background of our family picture. He pointed to it and said, "He is right there."
