Silas Prays
I love to hear my children pray. Love it. Sometimes, I learn something that is on their hearts that I had no idea was burdening them. Sometimes, I'm amazed at the words that come out of their mouths.
Silas, especially, seems to have a gift for "Spirit-led" prayers. Recently, when at the home of sweet friends for dinner, Silas asked if he could say the blessing before the meal. His words were, "Lord, thank you for this house that is like a home and these people who are like family." What was amazing about these words was that Jeff and I had just signed on a house about 7 blocks away from this family and one reason why we liked the house was because of it's proximity to "Uncle" Curtis and "Auntie" Bernice.
Jeff and I had struggled quite a bit with whether or not we had made the right decision in buying this particular house. But, with those words, God- through Silas- confirmed to us that this is where we are supposed to be. We are a mere seven blocks away from "these people who are like family," and it absolutely thrills me!
We move in July 17. So, we will be homeowners! Please come and visit us. It is our goal that when you visit us, the words of Silas's prayer will be true for you, as well.
