Little Prayers

Every night after Luke is read a story, he gets into bed and Will or I will say a prayer for him before turning off the light. One night recently, after I finished the prayer Luke said "Luke say prayer". So, I said "ok, now Luke can say a prayer", not really thinking he was going to say anything. He closed his eyes very tightly and whispered "Jesus, Jesus, Jesus" then opened his eyes and smiled his little embarassed smile. It was the sweetest prayer I have ever heard! I told him it was a very good prayer and that it made God very happy. My prayer is that God will continue to become more and more real to him.

You guys are doing a great job! The Bible says that all we need to do is to call on the name of Jesus...you can't get any better than that.

That prayer pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?
So sweet. "Jesus loves the little children..."
