Words spoken by Christ to his followers was shown today in the hearts of my children. I love our kids. They can be absolutely INSANE, A LOT, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. At our evening meals each night we try and read a Bible story and each person around the table prays for someone in our lives. Many times Sabrina and I just laugh at how happy God's heart must feel when he hears children pray, it's so special. Well today, we were looking at a snow covered ground, wondering if it will clear up enough to do our servant project at the city Easter egg hunt tomorrow. I fully trust that God can change the weather regardless of what Jeff Matthews predicts as chief meteorologist of KGWN News Channel 5 here in Cheyenne. I called Pete at Fun On The Go to see what the latest time is we could cancel without paying for the full event. Dan, at the Parks and Rec Department, is waiting to see what happens through the day before he makes a decision. While I am on the phone, getting info, asking about cancellation, Jonah asked Sabrina if we could pray for God to change the weather. His motive is so we can have all 4 inflatable games and not just 1 if we go indoors, BUT, he fully believes that God can do it. Do I? Do you? Do we REALLY believe God can do anything? Do we ask God with expectancy of what He can do? I hope we do more often than not, but I have to admit that sometimes I haven't. We ask with a "probably not" mentality rather than "probably so". Anyway, we gathered together and Makalah prays in her sweetest Makalah voice: "Dear Jesus, pray for Easter....Amen". I know the Holy Spirit took those words straight to the throne of God and interceded on behalf of our daughter. WOW, how cool is that? May we (I) have the faith of a child (Makalah, Jonah, Mariah). It was a great teaching moment for me. Not to teach, but to be taught!
Following Christ,
Jeff
