My children love to pray and it thank God for that.
Everytime anyone of us says they are not feeling well; Tana and Kendi are so quick to pray. They pray even before we ask them to pray.
When I tell Kendi that Ethan is not feeling well, the first things she does it to hold his hands and pray for him, like immediately.
When I tell her that I am not feeling well, she begins to pray immediately. Before you ask her to pray, she is saying Amen.
When she is sick- she tells me, “Mum, please pray for me, I am not feeling well, I feel like a fever” ( I am not sure she knows what the fever is all about) but all she wants- is to be prayed for.
When I feel low, sometimes I ask Kendi to pray for me, I tell her to ask Jesus to restore my strength. I want them to know the Jesus I know, I want them to know that Mum is not a super woman, I rely on God even to take care of them. I want them to know that Mum feels low and she needs their prayers as well.
I love that that they love to pray.
Well the other day, we were having dinner, the food was on the table and Chris and I seemed to be taking long to settle down, I was in the kitchen trying to get something done. I had Tana say, “Let’s pray Kendi”. They were too hungry to wait for Mum and Dad-so they prayed, just the two of them and continued to eat.
Well, I liked that they prayed, but I later told them that it is good manners to wait for everybody to be at the table before they begin to eat.
Well, the point is, they prayed!
When we drop them to school, we all pray before we let them out of the car. Sometimes, they pray for us as well, they pray for our jobs.
When they are sick and they get healed, even a small scratch on their legs- they scream- Mum Jesus healed me!
May they grow to love Jesus- though they may not understand it all-Jesus is THE only way to go!
Amen and amen. A family that prays together stays together.
