Prayer

Last night I was having devotion with Sid. He picked the story on Shadrach, Meshach, and Aabednego (one of my favorites) and I always point out that, just like these three men, we don't always have to do what everybody else does. A real good story for kids just starting in school. Afterward Sid wanted to say a prayer and I was real impressed on how talked to God. He said "God, we love you and me and daddy don't always do devotion like we need too, but we do it because we do love you so much and we really want to learn all we can about you, amen." I was floored and I asked him where he learned to pray like that, and he just looked up and said "I'm just talking to God, like you do."

I had a proud moment and then I realized that we are all God's children and us parents are really just foster parents. We are given these children from God to raise up and teach. I always fear that I am not doing enough or being the best example, but moments like last nights prayer make me feel like I am doing somethings right. If you have kids don't take them for granted, they really do understand and know more than we give them credit for. Pray for them and give them the guidance they need to become Christ-like.

Have a Blessed Day!!!
