Hey Pastor, this reminded me of an incident where I was caught praying by my sons. I didn't have a cordless phone then. I had a cord that would reach miles inside my house...ok, I exaggerate...but I was pacing with my eyes closed and one hand up in the air and praying with my girlfriend, Lee Ann. I had a path nearly worn into the linoleum when I heard my eldest son, Theo, tell Landon...."10 bucks says she gets dizzy and falls down" I opened my eyes to them grinning in the doorway, Theo's arms around Landon's shoulders. Although they were interupting and to some it may sound irreverant...I was glad they found joy in who I was as a mom who prayed. Another time, I called home from work to see what came in the mail and Theo (12 years old at the time) said some books came from Literary Guild was in the mail. I had slowed down in spending on books at the time and had not remembered ordering anything. I asked him to open it and felt sure I had missed some member's choice notification and it was a mistake. He started laughingand said "You ordered these". I asked how he could be so sure. He read the titles...Wild Things Happen When I Pray and The Power of a Praying Wife. I was blessed again that he saw the pattern in my life. He is 31 now and Landon died in 2001. Today, Theo said he is disturbed by all the God references he hears in my daily talk...please agree with me in prayer. His wife is saved and is a loving Christian to their children and takes them to church alone. I know he will come back to the Lord....I have that promise but ask that you agree with me. I am bid by Mike(andLaura) to check your blogs so working my way back through. (Thank you Mike!) |
