As Christians, it is important to us to teach our children that reading the Bible and prayer are an essential part of our lives.
Though we are never fully sure how good a job we are doing, God gave me a glimpse of the impact our efforts this morning.
As I am preparing breakfast Nehemiah walked in the kitchen (and his shadow Kimberlee behind him) and here is our dialog:
-Are you hungry?
-yes
-do you want bagel or french toast?
-bagel
-ok sit down I will give it to you
-Jesus... pray... Daddy... work... help me... and food... amen
I mean one totally has to fill in the gaps, but you get the essence of his little heart. He prayed to the Lord as we always do for Daddy at work, for God to help him in school and for his food. I was so blessed by his little prayer.
