Recently, I had prayed that God would give me an opportunity to use my faith boldly and have someone to witness to. You can read about my experience with the post before this one.
We were flying home from AZ this past Tuesday, and Sadie has been sick. We sat down next to an older woman named, Mary. Zachary had been talking to her about Legos, Minecraft, etc. I asked her if she was from Texas and she went on to explain that she was on her way to visit her cousin in Texas b/c she had lost her husband in February. Sadie pulled down her little face mask (she was running fever, coughing, and snotty) and asked Mary if she knew Jesus. Mary said that she did and that she knew that her husband was with Jesus. Mary said that she was very sad since her husband died. Sadie said," can we pray with you?" Mary talked a moment and then said," yes, she would like that." I asked Sadie if she wanted to pray or if she wanted me to pray. Sadie wanted to pray, so we bowed and Sadie had the sweetest prayer. Mary ended up sitting right behind us on the plane and a few times Sadie would turn around through the crack in the seats and tell Mary "hi". It was amazing, awesome, a blessing, etc to see my daughter, demonstrating what she has been learning. I am so thankful to be homeschooling my kids. I pray that they will continue acting out their faith and that they continue to reach others through the name of Jesus.
Proverbs 22:6 NIV
Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it. (Bible Gateway)
