Bedtime Prayers

Just want to share a quick story about the wonderful conversations I have with my sons...totally cracks me up!

I always pray with my sons before bed...last night, I asked Braden, my 7 year old, for his prayer requests. He said "Mommy, pray that I don't get a girlfriend." Is it wrong that I gleefully prayed this prayer??...and then took the prayer a bit further and prayed that my child would wait on the Lord and His choice for him for a wife? The funny thing is, as I was praying the part about Jesus, please don't let Braden have a girlfriend, Braden yells, "yes!" like alright, He won't give me one. His excitement about Jesus not giving him a girlfriend cracked me up.

To make things funnier, tonight at dinner, I joked with Braden that he can't get mad at me if in 10 years he doesn't have a girlfriend because he ASKED me to pray this prayer :) Then Joshua, my 9 year old, pipes up with, "pray that for me too." Then I start praying the same prayer for him and he says..."well, actually mom, it's too late, I already have a girlfriend." To which I replied..."you haven't kissed her have you?" He gave me a horrified look and an emphatic "NO! I am going to wait like you and Robert did...until we get married" Sweet huh?? Then I took this very sweet and hilarious opportunity to pray over both of the boys and their purity.

I am a very blessed Momma :)
