Awesome Day

Today was a special day. A VERY special day!! Matthew spent the night last night at my parent's house - in the morning, when my dad was doing the dishes, he said Matthew started praying - "Dear Jesus, I want you to be my Savior. I know you are God. I want you to live in my heart." Or something like that

 (a little sad I wasn't there to witness, but if he was going to say it in front of anyone Grandma and Grandpa would be it :). He was so excited to tell me he prayed the Lord's prayer, or God's prayer, don't exactly remember. We plan to pray with him again too, and I'm sure (well, I sure pray about it!!) throughout his life there will be another time he dedicates his life to the Lord, but today really made me happy :) To celebrate, I took M out on a Mommy/Son date night - we got Panera for dinner, then saw The Lorax at the theater complete with popcorn and fruit snacks - really cute movie by the way, and he sat through the whole movie happily, first time ever! Even topped off the evening with some Coldstone  - yum!! Today is one of those days that just blesses a mother's heart :) Praise the Lord!!
