It's Gonna Be Alright

As moms we often worry if we are doing our best to raise our children right. Are they in the best school?  Are they surrounded by kids who are good influences?  Are they eating too much "junk?"  Are they getting too much screen time?  

Well, today I had a reminder that I'm on the right track. In the car we were talking about Ra's friend's dad who is finding out tomorrow if the months of chemo he has suffered through has worked to kill the cancer in his body. I suggested to the kids that they pray for the entire family. As soon as I finished telling them, Kendall says "Mom, I'm gonna pray right now." I looked back in my rear view mirror to find her hands folded and head bowed. 

It was all I could do to hold back my tears. She has such a sweet, loving heart when it comes to others.  If nothing else, I've done one thing right.  My kids know that when times are tough, we should get on our knees and talk to Jesus.
