Wow, how I have missed you!

I was compelled to post a new entry (after a long hiatus) after witnessing one of the most precious moments with my daughter.

My mother got frustrated with me once when I told her I didn't want to teach my kids the usual night time prayer. My response to her was honest - I didn't and still don't want to teach my children routine prayers (other than a food blessing) so that they learn relationship with the Lord and not one-sided appeals. I desire that my children accept Christ as their Lord and Savior in their everyday living so that they don't have to worry about a routine nightly prayer about" if I should die before I wake..."or what-have-you. I pray they are greatly assured before laying their heads down each night. I pray they walk by the holy Spirit in forgiveness, repentance and love out of grace and integrity from scripture.

So getting to the point...
Before bed tonight, my 2 year old daughter came from her room to let me know she had to "go potty". I take her to do so. After a long wait for her to "go poop", I was growing impatient as I had a lot on my mind. While she was on the potty she began to pray (with her hands together) as I stood diagonally in the bathroom doorway. I heard her starting off, "In Jesus name... uerwncoiem jiofewj jfioa Grandma... Daddy... jewa fkdlatejnvroa outpejkfg...Daddy....urie odkjur...Grandma... and she went on for quite some time; speaking quite low as if trying to be discreet. A friend of mine called it speaking in tongues when his daughter did it -lol.
So me, knowing how Jesus loves his "little ones", I told her to "pray to Jesus for Mommy too". So she went back to praying...kjruei irhg ruioen... and made mention of me, "in Jesus name".

Have I gone so far away from that close relationship I once had with God that He was graceful enough to use my 2yr old daughter to help strengthen my faith?
Well, what I know is that it astounded me to see my little girl so serious about her "Jesus" and it placed a smile in my heart and a tear in my eye.
