A Mother's Prayer


Daily I pray that the kids will be healthy and safe. I pray for each one that they will grow up to know the faith and follow Jesus. Well this morning I smiled as Annie and Charlie played together. This alone would be an answered prayer! As I listened though, my heart melted. Annie had pulled out the laundry basket and was folding every person's laundry into a separate pile. A few minutes later, Charlie walks through the room and offers to help. Their conversation went like this:

Annie: "Did you know that it makes God happy when you help someone? "

Charlie: "Yeah!"

Annie: "When we are not helpful, that make God sad. You don't want to make God sad do you?"

Charlie: "I don't want to make him ANGRY!"

Annie: "Yeah, but we don't want to make him sad either."


They continued to clean and the conversation changed to silliness and jibber jabber, but for that moment it made me smile to hear my children try to do the right thing because they knew it would make God happy.
