the other night at dinner, we prayed for our food like usual and began to eat. about a minute later, cole announced that he wanted to pray again. i asked him, what do you want to pray about? and he answered, chewy.
he likes for us to lead him in his prayers so we prayed for chewy that he would stay safe and be a good dog. cole was very happy.
then yesterday morning, just before we had our family devotion, cole asked to pray again. we prayed for our family to be safe and to have a fun day. he has said amen after our prayers for months and insists on holding hands with us too. but he is now wanting to pray more and more on his own.
it touches our hearts so much to hear our little man have a heart for God. we love that he loves to read his bible stories and go to church. in bible study fellowship, he has learned that the bible is God's word and it is special to get to touch it and read it. during our daily family devotion, which he usually is playing through, he typically pauses, runs over to whichever one of us is reading and places his hand of the bible gently with a big smile. then he goes back to trains and cars.
he also has learned that the bible is true and we talk about that a lot: bible true.
it amazes me that God speaks to his little heart and is working in him now, preparing him for the man of God that he wants him to be in the future.
i am also thankful that brenner and i had parents that taught us to pray so that we can be those same examples to cole and the girls.
love my sweet boy.
