Here’s one of those very cute, wish I had
been there moments that Chris got to experience first-hand.
Cailyn woke up the other morning after
spending the night with us while Mommy and Daddy were at work. She stretched her arms wide in one of those
trying-to-wake-up reaches and then added a huge yawn. Realizing where she was, she eagerly began her
usual routine - talking there in bed with Chris as only a six year old little
girl and her grandmother who never had a daughter can.
Now Cailyn had been feeling poorly
the night before. Coughing, sore throat, slight fever. So of course we prayed together for her at
family worship time just before bed.
As she slowly reached higher and
higher stages of morning consciousness, all of a sudden she threw her arms out
to side and cried, "Nani! I've been healed. No sore throat. No
coughing."
And then at breakfast she insisted
on handling the praying. She had some
thanking to do. And sure enough, she
happily thanked God for healing her.
Gotta love it when a youngster has
one of those "aha!" discovery moments.
Philippians 2:5-7 says, “Your attitude should be the same as that of
Christ Jesus: Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God
something to be grasped, but made himself
nothing, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.”
Father, let me add my thanks for
your answer to the special prayer of a child.
Those kid prayers really are some of the most powerful things in
creation. Amen.
