Being a Prims teacher, I have one hope for the girls and that is for them to grow closer to God and learn lessons that will provide them a foundation to serve God on for the rest of their lives.

Yesterday, when we were at Amadeo, I was talking to Cais and Addi. Cais asked me if I would pray for her because she has a cough. Addi then said that she had a cough too and asked for prayer. I then prayed for the two of them. Immediately after we were done praying, Savannah said that she had a cough... then Sam, Annah, Seth, and Selena all said they had coughs and wanted prayer. Just as this was going on, Ben started the service. I hesitated to continue because I didn't want to disrupt the service, but then I realized how stupid that thought was. They all put one hand in the middle like we were having a team rally to say "Go God!" and then I prayed.

There are many things that make Christmas a beautiful time. I love spending time with all of my extended family and my church family. But praying with kids... them seeking God's healing and touch in their lives, that is the best gift of all (other than the gift of Jesus that is). Thank you all for sharing your children with me, the wonderful gifts that God has given to you.
