Without Question.

We are new parents of an Asian student.  He is here to learn English.  He is a great little man, we have really enjoyed having him here so far.

Today, we connected with another "Home Stay" family and their child and we went to the Saanich Fair.

Both of them fell into their native language and I had to say, "In English Please!" a couple times.  Then, I stopped pushing them.

When we were gathering to leave, the most amazing thing happened.  It might not be monumental to you, but it struck me.

One of them swatted a bee, and said in the most amazingly perfect English, "Jesus!"

I was awestruck.  Gobsmacked.  Amazed.

I immediately thought of Philppians 2:9-11:

“Therefore God exalted him to the highest place
    and gave him the name that is above every name,
 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
    in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
 and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord,
    to the glory of God the Father.


Without question, every knee will bow and every tongue confess that Jesus is Lord.  Maybe even in perfect English....
