A while ago, I wrote about teaching Josiah how to pray for healing fo others--mainly when they are hurt, sick, or sad. He has now taken it a step further and has started initiating his own prayers.
He thought I had a boo-boo tonight, so he laid his little hand on my leg and said, "Mommy, what happened? Can I kiss it? Can I pray for you?" Then afterwards, "Does it feel better?" Adorable child-like faith. His prayers in this situtation continue to be, "Thank you Jesus for the food. Please help ____ to feel better. Thank you Jesus for the food. Amen."
We fail in a lot of ways when it comes to teaching the boys Truth. Opportunities are missed. Time isn't set aside consistently. We hope to change this, but we're thankful his little mind is beginning to wrap around prayer and he can talk with Jesus anywhere, any time.
