The thing is, he is the most easy going guy you could know. But when it comes to the seriousness of bringing people into the Kingdom, he is bold like a lion. But he is so loving that people that he shares with usually get saved! It is a God-given gift!<BR/><BR/>I love that song by Ray Boltz, but it is not the one that was on when I shared with Caleb. It was Worthy is the Lamb by Dennis Jernigan. Have you ever listened to his music? It is powerful! <BR/><BR/>I think we need to seriously pray for our lost loved ones. Pray that the Lord will use us to bring them into the Kingdom. And if not us, ask Him to please send someone with the message of the Gospel to melt their hearts. It is an area to pray, "Make haste, O Lord!" Time is short!<BR/><BR/>You are a special friend and I thank you for sharing with me.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, <BR/>CheriCheri Bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164308430243574427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894901656509002540.post-42130694688549744752008-07-11T15:10:00.000-05:002008-07-11T15:10:00.000-05:00Laura, I continue to feel blessed by all the new f...Laura, I continue to feel blessed by all the new friends I gained at She Speaks this year. It is so wonderful to be able to share our testimonys. <BR/>I am so awed by the hand of God upon my son Caleb. It was not a work we can boast in. It is such a work of the Spirit!<BR/>It is such a joy to know you! I am expecting great things for you!<BR/>Blessings, my dear friend!<BR/>Love you,<BR/>CheriCheri Bunchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11164308430243574427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894901656509002540.post-4961788496048904782008-07-11T14:57:00.000-05:002008-07-11T14:57:00.000-05:00Wow. I was intrigued by your story. My first tho...Wow. I was intrigued by your story. My first thought in the title was the old song Unforgettable...I can't remember was that Ray Charles? Or someone famous. <BR/><BR/>Then you mention Watch the Lamb and that warmed my heart. I love that song. They use to play it at a certain scene at the Easter Pageant. Ray Boltz was my first favorite Christian artist upon becoming a CHristian 13 years ago. <BR/><BR/>You stored wowed me. Then, you said Caleb is not 22. Wow. <BR/><BR/>You are truly blessed. I have an unsaved brother who desperately needs Jesus (don't we all) but he has family problems in his house hold, along with some other things I should not mention. <BR/><BR/>I have no children but I could imagine it would be the scariest and most disheartening feeling to have an unsaved child. Yet, the opposite of having a child come to Christ must be the best gift ever.<BR/><BR/>That way your son was so adament about doing it "now". If only most adults would realize the urgency especially in this day where we indeed are near the return of Christ and decisions will not longer be made.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing. <BR/><BR/>I'm somehow not placed you on my blog list. I'll do that now.Paula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894901656509002540.post-19605558171439893862008-07-11T14:40:00.000-05:002008-07-11T14:40:00.000-05:00Cheri,This story brought tears to my eyes.

I learn so much through his eyes! <BR/>So good to hear your voice, friend!<BR/>We're still praying!Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08263995875732832349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2894901656509002540.post-427791635997235512008-07-11T13:35:00.000-05:002008-07-11T13:35:00.000-05:00Thank you for sharing this with me.

I will never forget that morning either. I was just opening my eyes to the first glimpse of daylight when my little 3 year old came into my bedroom and crawled up onto the bed with me. His first words to me that morning were, "Mommy, how do I ask Jesus into my heart?"<BR/><BR/>Stunned for just a moment as to what had prompted this question, I began to explain, as best I could, in a child's vocabulary and understanding, the free gift of salvation. So thankful the Lord makes the way easy enough that even a child can come to Him...actually...it's easier for a child to embrace then it is for many an adult.<BR/><BR/>With pure childlike faith, we bowed our heads and his decision was made to follow Jesus. The date was September 5th, and each year we celebrate his spiritual birthday with a special dinner, cake and a gift that represents a continued walk with His Lord. <BR/><BR/>At 16 years of age now his heart is still tuned to his Savior. This past week he has played keyboards for our VBS which saw over 400 in attendance and many precious little ones gave their hearts to the Lord - giving their parents, and us, more unforgettable moments. For the next 3 weeks he will be a Division Leader for the Grade 3 and 4 children, as well as helping with music at our church Day Camp.<BR/><BR/>There truly is no greater joy than to see our children walking in the truth.<BR/><BR/>Rejoicing with you,<BR/>Sending my love,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.com
