Oh oh oh, The sweetest thing (in a U2 style)

So, hears a story that will make you say ahhhhhhh. W went to the youth meeting, Friday evening and there’s a little boy there from Colony. He can’t be more than 5. Really cute little fella. If you give him like 50 cents he’ll sing a song with you name in it, ahhhh.

So Jap and Faton are back from hiking up and down the mountains of Albania. Jap is an older guy and this is quite an achievement, as he is also a long standing friend of the church he has a great deal of respect. As he walks in everyone’s stand up and gives him a clap. He sits down and this little fella runs up to him, throws his arms around the guy and gives him the biggest hug. I figure he musk know Jao but I’m told this is the first time they have met.

A bit of laughing and explaining later and the story goes. The boy had been told about Jesus and when he got to the church he had been looking for him. As Jap got such a warm welcome the little lad assumed this must be Jesus so wanted to hug him for all he’d done. In true Christian style Jap explained to the boy he wasn’t Jesus but he had Jesus in his heart, and so did everyone there and he could have that too. The boy sits down quite content and says. ‘’I’ve been looking around the church for Jesus but now I know where he is’’, Ahhhhhhhhh
