I sure hope that your May has kicked off to a good start. The heat is settling in quick around our parts. We've kicked off May with watching our softball girls win the District. Next week we start another round of ball. It's so much fun to watch these girls and especially our girl, Mallory. She plays centerfield. We were so proud of both teams that played against each other. They all, hand in hand gathered together as one of our girls prayed for the game and also for one of our young men that was in a horrific car accident and fighting. His name is Kaden if you can think to lift him up to our Lord. I had the opportunity recently to speak to a group of women at a ladies luncheon event at a local church. Oh we had so much fun. I wished I had gotten pictures of the beautiful decorations. We had a TEA PARTY and we each kept the cup that we drank out of it. Isn't she just lovely? Easter has come and gone but we sure have a great time with family. We gather each...
Years ago when all my children were at home I became a part of this group at our church called, "When Mothers Pray" by Cheri Fuller. We met once a week and spent about one hour together (4) of us and prayed for our children. I done this for 3 years. Now I look back...all my daughters grown now...and I think to myself...I am so glad that I done that! Not that I've quit praying for my children...Mercy, we never quit praying for our children...I have about decided that the older they get the more we pray! I pray daily for my grandbabies as well. I pray not only for their safety, health, & wisdom but also that they will come to know Jesus at an early age.....for their future mates....for them to love the Lord with all their hearts, souls, and minds..... I so glad that through that time together as mom's, sisters in Christ and friends, that we learned the POWER of praying God's Word over our children. I was reminded recently of the words Cheri Fuller spoke in her book: "If we aren't praying for our kids...who is??????". Let our prayers never cease for our children and grandchildren! Be blessed and have yourself a great Monday!
Prayer is the most important thing we can do for our children and grandchildren! Loved this post Cindy!

Amen, sister Cindy! I so totally agree - prayer is the most important thing we can do. I have always been a praying mom and you're right - the praying never ceases for them. How wonderful you learned this at an early 'Mommy' stage in your life. Your children have been blessed through your prayers. Every time I talk to my grown married children, I tell them how I love them and that I am praying for them!

Chris Rice sings...Mama Prays...I love this song! If you haven't already, then find it online and take a listen. It's from the album Short Term Memories
ReplyDeleteThis is so true, Cindy! I love this little reminder to pray for our children. It's a blessing for them and for us as well! I never feel that God is not listening to prayers for our precious kids!
ReplyDeleteAnd, I love your Foto Friday pics! Your grand kids are ADORABLE. I love their little smiles and their cute Easter dresses! Well done!
I wish we had a group like that in our church. Sometimes I gets so involved in cleaning, disciplining, and just being a mom I forget to pray for my kids. Thanks for the reminder.
