On Friday we got this cool globe at Aunt Kristi's rummage sale and the kids were SO excited to be able to find China and see how far it is away from us. Well, at bedtime when it was time for prayers Hunter grabbed the globe and put his hand over China while he prayed for his baby sister. (yeah, it was a tear jerker I tell ya!)
His prayer went like this:
"Dear God, please be with our baby sister in China, keep her healthy and protect her from the wind storms, amen."
Brylie looked at him and said, "why did you pray about wind storms?" and Hunter said "I don't know, it just came in my mind."
This is where the cool part comes in....earlier that day I was reading some information on the internet about China and read that parts of China are under a Typhoon threat. I could hardly believe my ears when I heard him pray for her protection from this typhoon! I explained to Hunter and Brylie what was happening in China and told Hunter that God had spoke to his heart and that is why he knew that he needed to pray for the "wind storms". He didn't understand it all but I was so choked up I could hardly talk. Isn't it amazing how God can use the smallest of His people to pray for some mighty big things!

that is amazing! God is so good.
we purchased a globe a while back and the kids really love being able to understand what the world looks like and where everything is. how extra special that they can now visualize how far away your china doll is.
How precious is that...
Your kids are such kind-hearted wonderful children...how proud of them you must be!
That's not just pretty cool - that's totally awesome!
That is awesome! I pray your wait is not too long.
From another China Mom,
Sue
Teresa, it's just amazing how God can use these little jewels to be such a big part of his kingdom and to work in such big and powerful ways. Don't forget to pray a huge blessing over that boy :)
By the way, I know Sue who commented above. I didn't know up until recently that she had a china doll. She grew up in my church :) Small world, huh?
That Hunter sure has a big heart.
Totally gives me chills all over. What a beautiful expression of how near God is to the little children!
Whenever I feel like I really NEED someone to pray for me, I ask a child. : )
