So it DOES matter!

This morning on our way to school, we were driving along and approaching the campus. (We weren't there yet...) Josiah all of sudden yells out "Mom!! You haven't prayed for my day yet!!" I pray for him out loud every morning on our way to school - for him, for his teachers, for him to be like Jesus and be a friend, etc. Apparently, I normally pray before the intersection that we made it to today, because he let me know!!! I was glad that he notices (you never know) and that it makes a difference to him!!!

that is so sweet...keep it up, Katy! :) I can tell, being a 4 year old teacher, whose parents teach the Bible and their Christian ways and who just doesn't have much of that influenced on them! It makes such a difference, you are right!!!

yes it does matter! what an impact you're making on him but showing him the importance of prayer for his day! that's the ONLY negative to the carpool...can't pray on the way when i'm picking up in the afternoon...have to do it before! and when it's our turn to drive in the morning and Donovan's in the car, well we just pray for him too. :)

Don't you love when your kids give that appreciation and validation? So awesome that it means so much to him!
