Breakfast Prayer

Samuel was in the middle of eating his breakfast this morning - eggies and raisin toast. Tim and I were busy about the kitchen when we heard this...

"Jesus, pwease bwess my frwiends and famiwy. Help me to stay in big boy bed. Obey Mommy and Daddy. Help me to know you. In Jesus name. Amen!!

Tim and I stopped dead in our tracks as we saw a little boy with his hands clasped and his eyes squeezed tightly shut talking to God in his little 2 year old voice. The whole thing brought tears to my eyes. How amazing to know that what you sow into these little ones truly sticks with them. It was a most precious moment.

This, without a doubt, is one of the most precious and encouraging blogs I've ever read! What a gift! What a blessing! He's just so precious -- just like Samuel!

What we sow into our children's lives really does stick, Michelle. It sticks just as well when it's not a good thing, too. Praise God you've sown wonderful, Christ-loving things into your little boy's heart.
