His light shined through our daughter Charlotte this week. She is 4 years old and beginning to discover her faith. Her best friend has been sick all week. She asked me for a pen and a piece of construction paper in the morning as she was getting ready for school. I asked her what it was for and she said, \u201cI made a card for my friend so she feels better. I drew Jesus on the card because I know he can make her better.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To us as parents, this was a very holy moment. To see Lottie make the connection between people&#8217;s sickness and Jesus&#8217; ability to heal is wonderful. She is catching a glimpse of Christ&#8217;s radiance and light. And she wanted to shine that light into her friend&#8217;s life. After she finished making the card, we prayed together for her friend.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-report-this\"><a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/psvoland?moderation_action=report_form&object_type=post&object_id=697&width=250&height=300\" class=\"thickbox\" title=\"Report This Post\">Report This Post<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sometimes, especially in this season of the year, it becomes hard to see the light.
