Napping with Elijah

Elijah is three and currently he spends most weekends at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Today he wanted to take his nap on Grandma's lap while Grandma tried to watch the last of the Elite Eight NCAA Men's Basketball tournament. While Elijah dozed, I couldn't help but offer up a little prayer for this precious little one. How will he grow, Lord? Will he seek you, Lord? His skin is so fair and so perfect. He is so full of life? Oh how I wish I could protect him from all that the world holds. He runs fast and he plays hard and perhaps even one day he will play basketball. My prayer for him today Lord is to breathe who you are into his life. I will come along side him and love him and tell how about you at every opportunity. Today we sang songs of praise to you. He loves to sing and he loves your music, Lord. Thank you for giving him, even at three, the gift of song and a soaring spirit.
