Today Ashton and I were talking about Jesus after saying a blessing on our lunch. He asked me if Jesus was in the sky and I told him that heaven was probably somewhere above the sky. He asked if Jesus liked it when he was nice and I said that when he was nice that Jesus was happy.Then he said to me "I miss Jesus." I told him that I miss Him too. He bowed his head and he got that look like he was about to cry and he said "I really miss Jesus. I feel like I could cry." And it did look like he might cry.
Sometimes when he acts like a three year old and prays with a cup in his mouth while gurgling milk I wonder if he understands anything that I am trying to teach him. Then there are these glimpses of who Ashton really is, there is no doubt in my mind that Heavenly Father saved His most exceptional children for this time when Satan would be the strongest. At this moment I feel so grateful for the opportunity that I have to spend time with this precious little guy.
