A few nights ago, we sat down at the table and held hands to pray and Easton exclaims, “I want to pray Daddy!” This was the first prayer that Easton has prayed out loud. Now each meal he thanks Jesus for the food, for Mama and Daddy, and for Jesus watching over us and keeping us safe. I am so thankful for his heart to lift his voice to His Creator.
Each night at bedtime Kendall and I pray with the children. When we were in Swaziland, Lily and Easton shared a queen size bed and we would pray together. I would ask them who they would like to pray for. We prayed for Lacie, Nathan, and then on the third night Easton said, “I want to pray for Joshua Jacobs.” Josh is a Peace Corps volunteer that lives near us in Nyimba. We have been praying for Josh to come to Christ and he is coming close to a decision. It was so precious that Easton wanted to pray for Josh that night. We pray that our kids can learn to pray for the lost by watching our example.
That is awesome! Sweet heart!
