This happened when Lee was about six years old.
He told me about it and his mom mentioned it as well at one of the family gatherings.
Lee and another little boy were playing in a neighbor’s yard. The woman became annoyed, came out and told them to go home and stop playing in her yard.
Lee looked up at her and said (not in a flippant or disrespectful way) “It’s not your yard, it’s Jesus’ yard.” The neighbor was quite impressed and told Lee’s mom.
For such a young child to understand the concept of God’s ownership of everything is really remarkable.
He was a good little boy and a good man.
God bless everybody

That’s heartwarming. While we should increase in knowledge as we go through life, even young children are quite capable of getting it right.
He was a remarkable man. Patty
Our Creator knows our hearts, both young and old. He undoubtedly took note of Lee’s good heart.
Thank you, unknowable. Patty
Just saying what is true. I have never doubted Lee’s sincerity or the goodness of his heart.
I miss him terribly. Patty
Our Maker will not forget him. I am firmly convinced that godly persons will have their lives restored when all of creation is restored to the way God intended.
I love your stories about Lee!
Thanks, Michele I love to tell them and there are many! Patty
Keep ‘em coming.
I will keep them coming Patty
