She sings....."Jesus"


Today is one of the ones a Mom remembers and ponders in her heart. The last two days I have been able to sleep in. I walk past the girls' room and see Cori all curled up. Like her mom, she treasures sleep. Only a few minutes later she walks in and crawls into my lap. Later, as she eats a traditional Chinese breakfast of Fruit Loops......tongue in cheek.......I have hooked up my speakers to the computer as I listen to a glorious praise song. It is called "Your Great Name". As I listen again I notice Cori is singing, so I turn the volume down.
Over and over and over she is singing "Jesus". Over and over. Then she walks over to me, lays her head on my arm, takes my hand and sings , "Jesus".
Would this child have ever heard this name in China? We know that God is bigger than countries. We know that He is sovereign and that her destiny was determined before the foundation of the world. We know that Esther was asked if she was born for such a time as this.
No matter the complexities, we praise God for a child who sings Jesus.
PS...this is NOT the tree that fell down three times.
