Now normally when your child wakes up at 3 am it's not considered a blessing. Tonight(well this morning) was different! Catie woke up at 3am crying so hard. Raymond went in first and I went to get here some water. At first she was very inconsolable,and she kept saying,"I pee,I pee." Yep she had peed the bed through her diaper and was so upset and embarrassed. We got her changed and put new sheets on the bed. While we were laying her down she was still crying. She then put her hands together and simply said,"Pray."
Now,because I don't want you to miss it...YES THAT WAS THE BLESSING!!! I said,"You wanna pray sweetie." She nodded yes and smiled. After daddy prayed for her she stopped crying and gave us her ritual kiss,then big hug,and a high five to top it all off. Now, again this may not seem like anything big to you,but for a mom whose greatest desire is for her children to come to know and love God and His Son Jesus. Well, this is just AWESOME!!! When your kid wants to pray you jump all over that! I'm so proud of my sweet,sweet girl. Even in a time when she was so upset she new that she would feel better after a chat with,"God and Cheesus(Jesus)!" That she already finds comfort in prayer is such an amazing feeling! If I never touch another persons life(I totally intend too though) God intrusted us with these beautiful little goofballs! They will have every opportunity to know God and His Son. I can't wait for Nathan to get older so he starts to get what's going on. I love that we can ask Catie who we pray to and she says"God," with absolutely no hesitation!! I am just in awe of God's love for our family and the many blessings He gives us daily! Thank You,Thank You,Thank You Lord!!!
