A Sweet Reminder

Over the last few months, there have been a handful of times that I've asked myself and Jesus, "Am I doing something wrong here?"  Every time I've asked the question, he has sweetly answered me that I am exactly where he wants me to be.  And he never fails to give me a visual reminder as well.  And more times than not, that answer has come in the form of my sweet Eva.

It happened again this morning, as it has several times over recent months.  This is what I overheard:

    Dear Jesus, thank you that I you make me not scared last night.  Thank you for Gi and Papa. I woke mommy up too early last night (confession :)) In Jesus' name, Amen.

She had another difficult night of sleep last night and at one point when I went in her bedroom she told me she was scared.  I asked her if she wanted to say a prayer and ask Jesus to help her not be scared.  She said, "Yes!  Let me get on my knees first.  I want to say it all by myself."  So I just knelt quietly with her and let her pray.  

    Dear Jesus, thank you that you help me not be scared tonight.  And help me to sleep until the sun comes up in the morning.  In Jesus' name, amen.

I thought it was sweet that she thanked Jesus in advance for helping her not be scared.  Unfortunately, she did not sleep until the sun came up this morning.  But hearing her pray about it, was totally worth it!

Thank you Jesus, for sweet reminders.
