Bedtime Prayer

Tonight, as I walk down the hallway, I hear my girls talking in their room. I start to tell them that they don't suppose to be talking when I realize they are actually talking to God. I hear Zoe ask him "please take care of our Mom tomorrow while she is in the hospital." Then Abbie-Jo says "give her a big kiss when she is sleeping in surgery for me."  I couldn't help but to thank God for them and of course cry. I know I haven't been my best and I can get super cranky...... but God sure knows how to show me He is here. This evening I set down and watched a movie with the kids and then we talked about the movie during bath time. These are some of the "little" moments I live for. At times the kids can make me feel like I'm living in the middle of a circus but then turn it around and show me how much they have grown. We pray every night at bedtime and I always remind them that they can talk to God when ever they want to and He will listen. Actually hearing them talking to Him melted this Mom's heart. Sometimes you need a reminder that He is listening to your prayers. (No matter how old you are)

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up. Luke 18:1

You are never too young or old to start praying! God is listening and He will answer..... All you have to do is listen to Him!
