Child-like faith

Tonight after Jaren had gone to bed he got up and told me his head was hurting him. I asked him if he wanted some medicine and he said yes. So I went to get the motrin and when I gave it to him he asked "Is daddy going to pray?" So I went and told Dan that Jaren wanted him to come pray with him. Dan came in and prayed and when he was done Jaren said "Daddy my head OK now. It doesn't hurt anymore". Dan told him he needs to get up in church on Sunday and thank Jesus for helping his head. Oh the faith of a child and yet we find it so hard to ask God for His help in the simplest of things. We serve a wonderful God who is interested in helping even the children.

In addition to this story my grandpa has been in the hospital for several days due to problems with his cancer. And Sunday night in devotions Jaren wanted to pray for Grandpappy so Dan helped him pray. After they were done Jaren asked "Is grandpappy OK noe that we prayed?" Talk about a hit to your already raw emotions and yet a conviction as well. Where is our faith for grandpappy's cancer. We told Jaren that we have to continue to pray for him and let Jesus decide what's best for him.

** my grandpa is doing better and is now out of the hospital. He is very weak and tired and says he wants to go nowhere for 6 weeks but the Dr appts are still there. Thank you for continued prayers * *
