Jesus Loves Me!!!!!

I was time for bed. We had just gotten back from my In-laws. Jasmine was starting to come up with a cold. She laid in her bed and I sat on the floor next to her. She said, "Dad! I need some medicine." I asked her if she thought we should pray and ask Heavenly Father to help her feel better. She said, " Nooooo! I need medicine." I smiled and then told her the story of the 10 sick men who Jesus healed. After I told her the story, I asked her to guess how many of them came back to tell Jesus Thank You. She said, " I don't know Dad." I said, "Only 1........Out of the 10 sick men that Jesus made feel better, Only 1 said Thank You" Then a loud yell came from the other room, "YEAH!!! 9 OF THEM DIDN'T SAY THANK YOU." Shayden, my 7 year old, had been ease dropping on the story. I smiled with pride because of his contribution. Then, while laying on her back in her toddler's bed, " JESUS LOVES ME!!!!" With a hugh smile, and an abundance of warmth, joy, and love in my heart, I said to her with emphasis, " Yes......He.........Does!" She agreed to pray with daddy. She folded her arms, bowed head and listened as I said a simple for prayer for her health and well being. It was a spiritual moment and special one as my children exercised Faith in God.........a very special one. After the prayer she smiled, looked me in the eyes and then asked, "Now can I have some medicine." With a smile on my face I said of course. I love you Jasmine!
