Josiah’s Prayer

Josiah touched my heart last night as he prayed.

Yesterday afternoon/early evening was a movie night for the boys and myself (you could probably call me a TV junkie).

Last night we watched the Cosby Show – Season 1, DVD 1. One of the episodes we watched was episode # 8 – A Shirt Story.

This is the episode where Theo buys, then has to return a designer shirt to impress a girl. Then Denise (his sister) offers to make him a shirt that looks just like the designer shirt.

Of course, it turns out a flop. And he hates it and he is embarrassed to wear it. That is, until his date sees it and thinks that it’s super cool. The, he’s excited to have it.

Well, that night, in his prayer, Josiah thanked God for the hope that he saw on TV as he can believe that something good can come out of something bad.

You see, HOPE is the virtue we have been studying at our church this past month (in UpStreet & KidStuf). It makes my heart feel good when one of our boys can make the connections from what they are learning at church and in the Bible to their real world.

I love learning from my kids!!
