'My' Son

On a normal Sunday after the worship service my son, Luke, age 10 would be pulling at my arm saying, "Let's go eat Mama, I'm hungry!" but this particular Sunday as I was talking I realized, "Luke, where is he!?!?" He was not pulling on my arm, wasn't at the swing set or with his sister, Lauren, age 16 who had already left the church. I finally found him in the church standing over to the side of the pews...I asked him was he ready and he held up his finger as to say "one minute." About that time our pastor had finished talking to the only other person in the church. So Luke went up to him and I stepped back into the vestible and started praying and praising God for whatever was going on. When he finished talking he came out smiling and he said, "Ok, Mama I'm hungry!"  When we got in the van, he said "Mama, I want Jesus to be with me always, that's what I had to talk to Pastor Robert about. Oh, and I am going to be baptized very soon!" 
That week, I called the pastor and asked him if we needed to do anything or if he needed to talk to him. Pastor Robert said Luke has said it all.  He stayed around waiting to talk to me. He did not want to leave without making sure.
One of the daily devotions I received that week talked about when Jesus' parents and then, young Jesus had been to the Passover festival and were traveling back when His parents missed Him, they then traveled back to Jerusalem looking for Him and found Him in the temple. Jesus said, "But why do you need to search? You should know that I would be in my Father's house."  A friend of mine had also thought of this story of Jesus when I told her of Luke missing and I found him in the church...she said  Luke was going about his Father's business!"  Thank you Jesus for touching Luke's heart and feeling him with your Holy Spirit forever!
Luke was baptized this past Sunday!
