I think one of my favorite parts of the day is when I get to put Kory to bed. We snuggle together, read a couple books and say his prayers. It is always neat to listen to his precious prayers.
Usually I start the prayer because he says he isn't sure how to :) Our prayers always include a spot for him to pray for friends and family and anyone else he thinks of.
It is always interesting who he prays for. I often wonder what prompts his prayers. One night, I remember he would only prayer for one of his friends. He actually just kept saying his name over and over and over. I thought, you know what, I'm not going to stop him because I don't know what he is sensing about his friend right now.
So tonight when we got to this spot, he prayed for a couple of his friends he plays with regularly, and then he prayed for a little boy we know who is chronically sick. And then he said, "well mommy, who else has problems." He then answered that question with "Oh, grandpa, please help grandpa feel better and mommy to not feel sad. And for Cade's birthmark."
My little boy's prayers tonight truly touched my heart tonight.
