Breakfast With Siah...


This morning at breakfast Siah asked me if I I was "doing well" today? (sweetheart, isn't he? :).
I have a little cold, so i told him that I was feeling a little under the weather...

To which he replied,
"That's ok Mama, God will heal you. We just need to ask him. He really does like to heal people. Ya know Mama?" (when did he grow up, he seems way to little to be saying, "Ya know Mama? :)

It was so sweet... Then I asked him if he wanted to pray that God would help Mama feel better?

You know what he told me...
"No Mama, it's important that you ask Him yourself. He really likes to listen to you. You can ask him yourself if you want."

I say that to him all the time.
.. Except the context is a bit different when I say it to him... Usually when he is struggling with something (Like being kind to his sister), I like to encourage him to ask God to help him to be kind because often times it is hard to muster up kindness on our own... especially when we are in the midst of feeling frustrated or mad...

Anyways, I find it so ironic that kids really do soak in so much but they only seem to remember what they've been told at the most random of times... How convenient ...

:) The whole conversation just made me smile...
