A Little Boys Pray

Here is a picture of Chase (5) and Gabi (2). I had them for the day last Friday, while the 2 little ones were playing I was getting some fall time house cleaning done. I was washing the windows on our back door, right out side the bathroom and there was a yellow jackets nest next to it some place. Well...I was trying to shoooo them away just long enough to finish cleaning the door.

As I was waving and wipping one of the little varmits got in my hair and stung me. I was jumping around and trying to get him out but I couldn't. Finally, I came in the bathroom and found my pick in between jumps and picked the litlle devil out of my hair. All the time Gabi and Case was watching, big eyed and concerned. Chase ask me if I was okay and I told him yes, but nana's head hurt.

Chase has a big, big heart...he told me to sit down and I would be okay. I sat on the toilet and he ask again if I was okay...(light bulb goes on for a learning moment) I told him yea, I was okay but would he pray for me. I will never as long as I live forget this little boys prayer. As I was sitting there and holding his hand her turned looked up to the celing and without a hesitation said "Would you make my grandmas head not hurt" and I said "Aman". He ask me again if my head hurt and I said it felt better already.

Then Monday night I got a call asking if I would go pick up Jake (10) and Garrett (8) because their dad-Heith and mom-Jessica were in the ER in Wauseon. Heith works on houses for a living and was building a garage for his best friends father. While he was using the power hammer it went off and stuck the nail through his thumb...bone and all!!! OUCH!

I picked up the boys and took them home to have them in bed for their parents and before I tucked them in bed, the three of us prayed for their dad and asked for healing of his hand.

I want my grandkids to know they can call on God any time and any where for anything!!

If we don't teach our kids to pray, who will?

Proverbs 22:6 Train up a child in the way he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it.

Proverbs 20:11 Even a child is known by his deeds, whether what he does is pure and right.
