A Child's Prayer

We have been trying to sell our condo for sometime now. We haven't been aggressive because we have good renters and don't want to disturb them. It's now come to a point where we just have to get rid of it. We've been praying as a family that it will sell. Anna has taken this to heart. I heard her talking when I got up this morning. I stood at her doorway and watched as my little girl, by her own will, sat on the edge of her bed with her hands folded in her lap saying words I could not hear. I silently watched her, knowing she was praying. When she was done, she looked up at me. I asked her what she had been saying. She said, "Mom, I was asking for our house to sell."

My faith is not that strong, but through the faith of this little child, I believe God can move mountains. I am amazed by my girl and I know with her faith our home will sell.

I just thought I would write that so I can look back on this and remember.

Little Anna-- how sweet! I'm also glad to hear that someone loves bread as much as I do. My weakness is donuts, cookies, cake...basically anything that has absolutely no nutritional value but tastes good. Love ya!
