During a discussion about God and the seemingly impossible "magical" things that happen in the Bible:
B: "You know how I know God is real?"
Me: "How?"
B: "When I have scary thoughts, I pray to God and then they're all gone!"
Wow. I wish I had learned that at 7. I wish I did a better job of it now at 42.
Dear God, please help him to remember this and keep that faith in his heart every day. I don't want to raise him just to believe. I hope and pray he will live it. Amen.

So sweet. Sometimes we can learn a lot from a kiddo. I love the simplicity. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYes, he teaches me all the time :)
DeleteYes, amazing how it goes sometimes: jus the simple stuff that in varying degrees needs to be repeated and expanded upon. I like the short prayer!
