But once in a while, I think God gives you just a brief glimpse into what is going on in the heart of your child as a way of reminding & encouraging you to know you are on the right path.
Tonight before we ate dinner, I asked my children who wants to say prayers. Out of the blue, my 2 year old raised her hand and said "I will". I was surprised but said ok.
She bowed her head & clasped her little hands together.
Quietly she said "Thank you Jesus.....for food....then she mumbled a few things I didn't catch....then said Amen". She was SO proud of herself and quite honestly, so was I!!! After all, we've been praying with her for over 2 years and this was the first time she attempted to pray publicly herself.
Fast forward to when I was cleaning up supper. I asked her if she got enough to eat.
She said "yes mom and it was good. Thank you mom for supper"!!!!!
*insert jaw drop*
I got down to her level and said thank you, I think I am gonna cry!
She said "do you need a bissue (tissue) mom"??
AHHHH she is such a sweetheart!!!
She can be such a stubborn little one at times but tonight....tonight was a glimpse of how God is shaping her precious, little heart!!!
Awwwww
