Blessings and Miracles

The boys arrived safely at home yesterday from a week at church camp. They, of course, had a blast and admitted to one shower/one teeth brushing (Caleb), and 3 showers/3 teeth brushings (Cody). Okay (deep breath)...I'm past that.

The most amazing blessing of camp was the fact that a friend that went with Cody to camp received Jesus! Cody explained to us that his friend was very interested in Bible stories so he told him "the big ones...Moses, Noah, Cain/Abel, the Rapture." Then he asked him if he was a Christian which led to a conversation about what a Christian is, what a sinner is, and what you have to do to be a Christian. They were interrupted, but that evening during worship, my precious friend, Sarah, led him through the steps and he made the decision.

I am so proud of his friend for making the decision...and I'm so proud of Cody for his testimony and words. You know as a parent, you tell them how important it is to be a witness and tell others...and you hope they get it. But you really don't know until they have the opportunity to share it with someone...and we're so thankful that Cody gets it. My heart could not be more full. I have so much more to say...but a blog just can't contain it. I must CREATE!

Another *sweet* blessing this week, is that Cody won a Wii. Everyone who brought a friend to camp and the friends who 'got brought' (grammar anyone?) got to put their name in a hat to win one of two Wii's they were giving away. They drew Cody's name on Thursday night! We received a phone call from a very EXCITED Cody that night to let us know. Mr. Don brought it over today and of course, it is already in use.

Do you think this does me justice?
