My daughter told me one day when she was sitting in her room that Jesus was there.  She actually pointed her finger and showed me.  That day she pointed to a wall in her room.  She is 3 years old and we have been teaching her about Jesus all her life.  I even prayed while she was being formed in my womb that she would know Jesus before she was born.  So when she told me He was there I had no doubt.  He is always with us.  Then I found out that she had told her daddy sometime before me that Jesus was in her room when he was in there with her.  She did the same thing....pointed to the wall. 

Well, one day in the living room she looked up at our light on the ceiling and said "There is Jesus.  He is the light!"  I had to giggle, because even though she pointed to the physical light, she knew Jesus was the Light.  The Lord has shown her in His own way that He is the Light.  Now, we may have read something or sang something that said that as well. But I think it is amazing for a 3yr old child to have this understanding and I praise the Lord that she does.  She still talks to us about Jesus being the light and the other day she looked up and said, "See how He glows?"  She was referring to the reflection of light that poured out on the ceiling.  I know He is revealing Himself to her in a very special way. 

I had purchased a picture from DaySpring called The Lion of Judah.  My mom had it framed for me as a Christmas gift but we didn't take it to be framed until the week of Christmas, so I didn't get to pick it up until the middle of January.  I was holding out for the 1/2 price frame sale at Hobby Lobby.  Anyway, I hung it up in our dining room and my daughter faces it every time she eats a meal.  Tonight, she asked me if that picture was Jesus.  I answered yes.  This picture has a beautiful golden glow around Jesus.  But tonight, she noticed the lions on either side of Him.  She asked me if Jesus had lions and I said yes.  Then I said Jesus is the Lion of Judah.  She said, oh, and then thanked me for hanging up the picture.  I can't wait to see how she begins to understand the meaning of the Lion of Judah!

That is so precious about your daughter seeing Jesus.

I've had many times when mine were babies that they would point and wave to the ceiling and laugh and coo like they were talking to someone really special. There is nothing there that i can see (not even a light), but i think these little folk can see the angels and maybe they even see Jesus.

It always amazed me when my little ones said similar things. I wish I would have written them all down! This is such a great way to archive those memories isn't it? What wonderful times.

Blessings!
