August 23 – “Oh, and Jesus?”

We got to hear a few Cailyn prayers yesterday.  She has suddenly become quite anxious to lead in prayer at mealtimes.  She always includes the obligatory “Thank you for the food and drink.”  It’s her additions that are very cute.  Yesterday it was easy to understand the things that were of utmost importance to her.  At breakfast it was “Help Aunt Christi’s baby be born.”  Then at lunch she switched to “Be with baby Noa.”  Gotta take care of those tiny ones.  My favorite part of her prayers, though, comes at the end.  She says, “Oh, and Jesus?  Amen.”  And the “Amen” is that strong, southern drawl type that holds out the first syllable and cuts off the second sharply.  Aaaaa – men. 

And with that I am going fishing.  Been hearing about great catches of specks at the beach.  Gotta go try it out.

Psalms 106:4-5 says, “Remember me, O Lord, when you show favor to your people, come to my aid when you save them, that I may enjoy the prosperity of your chosen ones, that I may share in the joy of your nation and join your inheritance in giving praise.”

 

Father, do watch over those tiny ones that Cailyn is so concerned about.  And watch over the concerned one as well.  Amen.
