Words from the beyond just doesn't seem to be there and lately I have been really doing an overall on everything. So much has happened and trying to make sense of it all. I stumbled upon this little Poem and gotten to thinking of have I really done any of that. My life is crazy and if stalls for one moment I forget in that moment I really should be on my knees praying. God forgive me, for I so many times have failed to do that. I know I have tried to install the wisdom of God into my little lady, but lately I have slacken to install that same wisdom in me.
My prayers have seemed to be just a mere passing, but listen to a 5yr old pray with faith beyond measure is whole different meaning. This pass Friday k and I were out on a mission to find bread rolls...I sure didn't have time to make them especially 36 rolls. I already had on my plate dying eggs, making jello eggs, getting things round up for Easter hunt and getting my mothers groceries. We searched high and low all over Walmart for rolls, can you believe not one single roll was to be found. Well on this note I informed k we will have to see if Sunmart has some and as we stood in checkout. My 5yr old bellowed out...DEAR JESUS, HELP MOM FIND ROLLS....just as she was finishing and saying Amen....you can hear other amens going out across that Walmart.
Upon arriving at Sunmart, k saw some of her favorite cashiers and workers and announced, We are on a mission, Jesus is going to get us some dinner rolls. We found 2 bags exactly 36 rolls in the freezer part, k cried out Halleluiah and I am just standing there thinking that is a faith of a child and praying that I will keep that kind of faith. It just reminds me that it isn't always the big things to pray about, but the littlest everyday items.
I should be praying even when I burned the muffins, stuck the milk in the cupboard, glued my keys to the table, but also I should be just thanking God overall how wonderful it is just for the joy of living in the moment. I have started a prayer journal with my 5yr old and goodness it is an eye opener for it is not just praying for a sick cat, it is prayer for a lost soul, a stranger in trouble (teen hikers lost in wilderness), something she may of heard through the day (a cashier sister getting sick), etc. Bless her little heart in reminding me and keeping me in check.
on the note I will leave you with this bit to chew on
LORD, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. Let my prayer be set forth before thee [as] incense; [and] the lifting up of my hands [as] the evening sacrifice. Set a watch, O LORD, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. Psalm 39:10
