She's Growing Up!
It wont be long before my baby girl turns two. In fact, next month is her birthday. I can't believe how fast the time is flying. Why is it that when you have a baby it seems like you can't wait until the baby is old enough to sleep through the night; then when the baby can eat on it's own; then to be potty trained... Wow! All those fantastic things that make a little baby a little functioning person. Soon my baby girl will be all grown up! To tell you the truth, I'm learning to treasure these milestones in her life - she's my last baby.
This week marks another milestone. My little girl learned how to pray on her own! Yes, we have been teaching her how to hold hands, bow her head, close her eyes and pray. Coaching her through each word carefully, she amazed us. Last night for dinner we all grabbed hands and before you knew it... you hear this soft little voice "Daddy, mommy, brother, food, Jesus, amen!". It took all of by surprise. No one expected her to take the lead at dinner and coach us through prayer. It is amazing to see God move in such a little person. Her brothers were so touched by the mention of their names and the soft voice that spoke to Jesus. Although there wasn't any "Thank you's" or "In Jesus name" mentioned in her prayer, we all knew her heart.
Isn't it something that the Lord knows our hearts like that, too? When we don't have the words to say or the right sentences to put our thoughts into, He still knows our hearts. It was a wonderful milestone to witness as a family. It made us *smile*
