A Mother's Joy

So happy I just have to share. :)

Last night, one of the boys (boys being boys) was being mischievous, hid in the dark to scare both his sisters. He was very successful, too successful in fact because even after he was reprimanded and he apologized to baby (2 and a half yrs), she was still quite affected.

I tried to get her lie down to sleep but she came crying to me and to my pleasant surprise, she asked me to pray for her. How glad my heart was to know that my little girl has learned to turn to God in prayer when she is afraid!

I carried her out to the dark place and talked to her about the dark. Then we prayed, I asked God to protect her and help her to sleep. And she was assured enough to lie down by herself and fall asleep.

Next morning, when I recounted what happened the night before, my older girl revealed that there was another time that baby was afraid of the dark and so she taught her little sister to pray and prayed with her. :) I just knew it was one of the older siblings who was behind this! Of course, I thanked my older girl for teaching her lil sister good things!

I'm so glad that the children are at a stage whereby they can encourage each other to turn to God and walk with God. More of these blessings, Lord! :)
