Couldn’t Be More Proud of Our Little Missionary

21 September 2008 by Brian.

Our oldest son (age came home the other day and told us about his assignment at school that day, which was to write about his hero.  My wife proceeded to inquire as to who he chose for his hero and his quick reply was, “Oh, that’s easy.  Jesus.  I didn’t even have to think about that one.”

So, his school celebrated parents, grandparents, and other heroes with a special assembly to which parents were invited and my wife and I dutifully attended.  Several of the children’s papers were read aloud by one of the teachers and some children came forward to read their own paper.  To my surprise, Kaleb’s name was called and he chose to come forward and read it, himself.  He stood at the podium and read: “My hero is Jesus because he loves us and died for our sins.  He is our Savior and Christ.”

I couldn’t have been more proud and didn’t waste any time after the program in telling him that he had the best paper in the entire school!  I thought you might be encouraged by his simple, powerful testimony, too.
