Lie

Cannon was finishing up some chores and putting stars on his chart when I noticed there was a star on "help with dishes". I mentioned that he had not helped with dishes today. He told me that he helped when I was away from the house. Since I has been home all day I thought he was lying. He assured me that he wasn't. I explained that lying was a sin and that there was no such thing a secret sin and that God knows everyhing we say and do. That was the end of the conversation. About 15 minutes later, he comes into my room and says, "Mommy, when I was in my room God spoke to me and told me to tell you I was sorry for lying. I didn't help with the dishes. God spoke to me because He lives in my heart". My heart melted. Thank you God for this precious boy and thank you for speaking to him.
