As a mother I am constantly thinking about what is best for my boys. From activities they are involved in to friends they encounter I worry, wonder, and pray about their lives. One of the most important things for me is that my boys know God and Jesus. I want them to see the beauty that surrounds us as one of God's wonderful creations. I want them to know that each and every person was beautifully and perfectly created by God. I want them to know they can always talk to God. In my many efforts to teach them and show them these things I was able to witness one of the many ways God is working on their little hearts.
I was playing with the boys when I looked out the window and saw an ambulance at the end of our road. It obviously was there for some medical emergency. We don't know these neighbors but it still had me wondering what could have happened. I pointed out the ambulance to the boys mostly because of their great interest in fire engines, trucks, aid cars, or anything with wheels. Colt was excited to see it. Brody saw it too and quickly came running to me.
"Mom, Mom. I prayed for the people in the ambulance."
I know I can't do it all and so I am reminded that I too must pray for wisdom, guidance, and patience as I raise these sweet, tender hearted little boys.
