Joseph told me today that in children's church he learned that the world is against you and if you learn and hold tight to the word of GOD, the world can never pull you down. "Isn't that right, Mamma" he said.
Earlier, Isabel laid out her 10 million blankets and 50 dolls all around the living room (a daily occurrence). I usually end up picking most of it up. I was just about to raise my voice in frustration and tell her to pick the mess up when I saw her get down with her dolls and bow her head, "Dear Lord, thank you for our blessings. Thank you for our health. Thank you for our food. Amen. OK, Babies, you can eat now".
It stopped my breath, if only for a moment. I decided that it was OK if she left her baby palettes all over the living room, or all over the house for that matter.
I am so thankful GOD has entrusted these fabulous little beings to David and I. I am so thankful we found our church home(or that God lead us there) and for what they do and how they teach our children. I am so grateful my children know GOD, and that their relationship is growing stronger with HIM every day. I am so thankful that just when I wonder if I am doing any good, GOD outdoes Himself by showing me that I am making progress. I am thankful my children are here with me for me to love, teach, and mold.
"Possibly the hardest part of praying for our children is waiting for our prayers to be answered. Sometimes the answers come quickly, but many times they do not. If your child has made poor choices, don't berate yourself and stop praying. Keep communication lines open with your child, continue interceding for him or her, and declare God's Word. 1/31 Praying Parent
