I usually mentally berate myself for going through entire days with my 18 month old without doing something spiritual like reading the Bible.
Then, my son got his arm stuck in the cabinet door.
After quickly wiggling himself out of it. He cried and ran over to me, rubbing his arm. At that moment, I had an epiphany. We prayed. I said: “Lord, heal the pain in this arm, in Jesus’ name. Amen.”
My 18 month old said: “Amen!” and toddled off, smiling.
I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. “From the lips of babes and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.” (Psalm 8:2, NIV)
Faith at home should be a natural part of our day’s activities. We don’t need to put on a big Sunday school production for our children for them to get it. As moms, we just need to demonstrate a living faith…and pray for the owies!!
How do you live out your faith at home with your children?
