From the mouths of babes...

Just wanted to share the bedtime prayers of our 5 year old tonight.  

During the course of  the day, Jude has at various times thanked God for his family, his friends, his cars, his socks, his Crocs,  his pillow, his bunny, his swimsuit and Isaiah's swimsuit (?), his tomatoes that he didn't eat for dinner, God's wrath (!), Wonder Pets, Kaiden, and Keira, and "Popsicles, but not the lellow ones". 

Lately, he has been adding little snips of Scripture into his prayers, which I love to hear!  Tonight, he launched into a litany of thanksgiving, ending with this quote from Romans 12.  "And thank you that if our enemy is hungry, we feed him.  And if he is thirsty, we give him a drink and heap a coal on his head.  Amen"

We will work on his understanding of the literal vs. figurative in the passages we read, but I am just so happy that he is hiding the Word in his little heart!
