During lunch today, I had one of those "gasp-swallow hard-hold back tears" moments. The kids and I were eating with Life 107.1 (96.1 in Ames) streaming from the kitchen radio. Out of the blue, Olivia asks, "Does our help come from the Lord?". I did the above, gasp-swallow hard-hold back tears, and answered her. "Yes". Then we had a nice little discussion about the help that the Lord gives us and how we let Him know what we need, what we're thankful for, and what we're sorry for. I didn't elaborate on the fact that God doesn't always answer our prayers the way we want or expect, but according to His sovereign plan. Olivia had heard the lyrics "...our help comes from the Lord", in the song "Praise Him in this storm" by Casting Crowns, a song we've heard a million times, and she really HEARD the words. What a great affirmation that we're listening to the right stuff:)
ps. sorry about all the words and no pictures...I'll work on it.
