Time after time we have been privileged to see how God has answered the prayers of our children. Their faith has strengthened each and every time.
A long time ago David was praying that his birth mom would join us for church....the following day she called us to ask if she could come with us to church.
David and Anthony both prayed for a young orphan, Gideon, to find a family. He had special needs that would make it harder for him to find a family, but they prayed and God answered!
Anthony prayed that his mom could come to church with us too. I was very unsure about that one, but wouldn't you know it - that prayer was certainly answered with a 'yes'!
There are many others, but I think tonight made a big impression on both of the boys because of the immediacy of the answer:). I know it definitely made an impression on me.
As we headed out of Costco tonight, we waited at the entrance with many other people because it was pouring down rain - the kind of rain that soaks you within seconds.
Lee decided to bring the car to us and as he was walking away, I turned toward both of the boys to tell them what was happening. I didn't get a chance to say anything, though, because....
There they were - hands folded, eyes closed, praying hard that the rain would stop. Anthony prayed aloud, "....please stop the rain and thank you for sending Jesus to die for our sins. We love you. Please stop the rain."
They looked up at me and then we all turned to look outside.
Do you know what happened??
The rain STOPPED!!
Not only did it stop, but guess what we saw on our way home?
The most beautiful, complete rainbow.
Praising God tonight for answered prayer and the reminder that he CARES about us and LOVES us enough to show us in the little things.
