Repentance

Tonight Porter and I talked about repentance.  This was not our first conversation or probably our last on this topic.  Per Porter's request I told him the story of Jonah and the whale.  Then for the first time Porter said a prayer on his own and told Heavenly Father he was sorry.  It went like this:

"Heavenly Father, sorry for biting Connor.  In the name of Jesus Christ, amen."

Then, "Sorry for hitting Olivia."

I think he's starting to get it.  I love this boy and I hope he always knows he can prayer to Heavenly Father and ask for forgiveness and to repent.

And we talked about how Heavenly Father knows him and sees him.  How he is aware of what he does and that he wanted him to be happy.  He asked me to sing a song about Heavenly Father so I sang one of my favorites, "A Child's Prayer".  I know his tender spirit is being touched.
