Keeper of Prayers

I tucked my almost--as in three days away from--two-year old "Tyler" into bed tonight and sang a few songs, then prayed. After I said, "Amen," he prayed too. Went a little something like this:

"I-nah, i-nah, i-nah i-nah i-nah i-nah. I-nah Mom. I-nah i-nah i-nah i-nah mine." And so on, with a very powerful "i-nah" at the end.

I watched him, gorgeous blond hair against the pillow, hands together on his chest, eyes screwed shut in utter concentration ... and I smiled at the thought of that prayer going straight up to the throne of God and being saved in a golden bowl.

If you hear that one in heaven someday, remember it came from my sweetie! :)

    Hi Christina -

    So adorable! I saw a YouTube video of a little girl praying. Wow - I wouldn't mind having her intercede for me.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

    I doubt God has any trouble deciphering his little boy speak. :)

    Christina:
    It is so sweet to hear about children praying. Yes, you will hear this prayer again, when you get to the other side.
