creative prayer

could we love you any more than
we already do, stacy b?
this girl loves the Lord
in such tangible ways &
she leads her family and all of us us
along with her in worshipping Him.

“Something new we started this year..
At dinner, which is our family devotion time,
we draw out of a basket the pictures and
cards we got for christmas…
then we pray for that family.

Last night, Tucker drew….
‘It’s the Cates!’, was the shout..
Yeah Yeah was the chorus…
so we looked at your picture,
thought of ways to pray for each of you and let loose.
Now…tell me how Jesus answered all those prayers today.
(I do think there was mention of keeping
the girls safe if Henry was playing with swords)”

ps – sticks are the new swords.
equally as dangerous & more readily available.

pps – you nailed it from yesterday’s post:
30 rock, episode 17.
but don’t start there, go back to the beginning.
in all your free time.
not.

ppps – happy birthday, ezra

this is betsy begging an apple from nathan.
he gives it to her but she refuses to relenquish
her electric toothbrush or her milk in order
to hold the apple. so of course, she holds the
stem with her teeth.
