Amen!

So, just a quick post to share something totally adorable...at least to Topher & me.

Last week, on the Sunday night before Thanksgiving, Drew did something that completely cracked us up & also caused us to marvel--both at the sponge-like quality of children & at the sweetness of our Lord. Most nights, part of our bedtime routine is a family prayer. I usually hold Drew in my arms & Topher wraps his arms around both of us and prays. Not too long ago, Drew would just squirm and whine & was sometimes impossible to hang onto. Those were short prayers mostly. But, in recent weeks, she's begun to calmly and sweetly look up at her daddy while he prays. I love to watch her face watch his. On Sunday night, when he was finished thanking Jesus for our little family, he finished with an "Amen"...and so did Drew! Her little amen was so cute and sweet in her soft sleepy voice. Oh, how precious. I can't even express how much we both delighted in her response. Topher was especially impacted by it.

Thank you, Lord for my incredible family. I imagine how much you delight in the prayers & "Amen" agreements of your children. You are so good to me. More than I deserve. I love you!
