The Heart of a Child

The days of the Spirit, working, in Phia's heart.
This is such one of those days.
This particular evidence, of the Spirit, began last night. An urgent prayer request on a friend's Facebook status. Another child living with WHS, like my daughter, was in distress.  We stopped everything, muted our devices and t.v. and went before God's throne, for this family and their little one.
We've been there.
Knowing it could be us, in need of prayer, at the next moment.  Knowing God is with us and knowing the need to draw closer to Him, in prayer, during these times.  Knowing how good God is, we took to heart their need and gathered together.
After each one of us prayed, Stuart asked Phia if she wanted to add to the prayer.  She kept her hands clasped tight and bowed her head, again and shouted out, "AMEN."  We all shouted back, "YES, AMEN!"

We continued our evening... holding on to the Amen (may it be so) attitude.

Before we tucked in for the night, we thanked Jesus for the good report. The child was stabilized and safely in the hospital.  Our continued prayers (we offer for this little one) at the request from her family, as they heal and trust God.

This (Monday) morning was a continuation of last night. (Monday mornings are the days I get to spend, with a group of Mom's, praying on behalf of our children and their school activities.)  My Bible and folder were ready, on the kitchen island, to grab on my way out the door.

During breakfast, Phia, left her counter stool to go find her eyeglasses.  Coming back into the kitchen, with her eyes perfectly framed by her glasses, she approached and flipped my Bible open and cleared her throat to read... "18 and 19," she said.
Pointing at the words on the page, she pretended to read and continued,  "Love you, honey, " with such conviction.
She then looked up (to see if we were all listening) and when seeing she had captured our attention she smiled, tenderly, into our hearts the very words she just spoke. 
We all smiled back and praised her for her Scripture reading and understanding.


"Thank you, Jesus, Amen!"
