2 birthdays now

A lady at the pool today asked my oldest son how old he was - he told her 8. He then told her he has two birthdays. She was excited for him and asked him when they were. "Well" my oldest replied, "my physical birthday is May 29th. My spiritual birthday is June 7th". "Oh" she said. "I understand". I don't know if she did or not, but I was so proud of my son that he already understands what he did Saturday night and what all of it means. I've thought a lot the last 36 hours of what caused him to finally commit to Christ. I know, first and foremost, that God called him. He stirred my son's heart as only God can and my son answered. Was this the first time he called him? I don't know. But I do know that he answered. I also realize how important it is in a child's life to surround them with truth. I know that God can call you to him without you ever having set foot in a church, gone to Sunday School or knelt in prayer. I know it can happen, but it certainly makes it harder. I believe reading the word as a family, attending a sports league that is Christ centered, attending church and going to his Christian school helped in his decision. Surrounding him by people who are speaking the truth to him, praying with him and for him - family, friends, teachers - all these played a part in my son deciding to follow Jesus. What was the "one" thing that did it? I don't know that there was "one" thing. I think it was all these things combined that prepared his heart to hearing God's voice. I pray he always knows the sound of his Father's voice.
