Child-like Prayers

I woke this morning with a voice telling me to log onto Facebook.  I finished my prayers and then I grabbed my Kindle and logged on.  There was a private message waiting for me... it was from a family, no, friends, whom we traveled with to ET for court. They are there right now getting their son and bringing him home.  My heart lept - I read the message...

We saw T yesterday and boy is he a cutie! He was all smiles and was laughing! He gets this great big grin on his face whenever you just look at him! I got to love on him and we got several pics!

I read and re-read that message and tears streamed down my face. I read the message to Will as he was getting ready for work, and he stopped and held me as I cried.  I was crying with a mix of emotions - so happy that I know T is doing well and that he is happy and acting as his usual self. So happy that our friends took the time to love on him for us and see him. But also the other side, that I miss him so much and want him to come home.

Our little E... is growing up.  Fast.  Last night, I was cleaning up the kitchen after dinner and Will and E were in the kitchen too talking and helping to put away dishes.  There is a plaque that E made last year in pre-school for me.  Will read the plaque to him, and then out of the blue, E stopped and prayed.  His prayer was simple... and it went just like this:

'Dear God, please bring T home.  Amen.'

I fought the tears.... and I smiled at him, and we bent down and prayed with him. In the back of my mind I was like, 'he's growing up... he's praying now out of his own will and heart. Thank you, God.'

This morning I heard the same prayer from E as I was getting him dressed.  Will and I prayed in the kitchen together before we got our day started... {Will is starting to feel the anxiousness now... or at least verbalize it} Whenever I get anxious all I can do is pray.  I know God hears our prayers... and I know he hears the prayers from E.

Today I have to rinse and repeat... and I need reminding to Give this all to God. I know he is faithful... I love this song that tells of his faithfulness... scroll down to stop the music before watching the video... I hope you enjoy it.
