I SURE WISH JESUS COULD HAVE BEEN THERE!

A church had a special concert and the worship center was packed. The congregation had one

of their greatest times of worship ever! Later that evening, a young mother from the church was putting her little boy to bed. He had enjoyed the concert so much and couldn’t stop talking about it.

The mother said the usual bedtime prayer with her boy, kissed him goodnight and was about to leave her son’s room, when he surprised her with a deep thought: "Mommy, I really had a good time at church tonight! I sure wish Jesus could have been there!"

Church is a whole lot more fun when Jesus is there!
