Talking with Jesus (an old favorite)

This is one of my all-time favorite stories about Alek. At the time, he was about 3 years old.

Background: Alek has never been a good sleeper. The first year he was home (he is adopted), he woke up at least once per hour each night. One night, however he had a surprisingly good night. The next morning over breakfast, we had the following conversation.

Me: Good Morning!
Alek: I had a good night. I didn't wake you up at all.
Me: I know...that's great!
Alek: Yes I know! When I woke up, I saw Jesus in my room and he was talking to me!
Me: Oh, Alek that is wonderful! I am so...
Alek: interrupting me But don't you worry, mama. I didn't talk to him because I don't talk to strangers!
Me: speechless
