Mommy, Pray Jesus?

Sometimes we get so caught up in the craziness of life that we forget the important things!! Well, this past week, it was a crazy night in the Petrin house ( I know, hard to believe) and I was trying to get Maiah and Seth in bed. This is a task in itself. We normally brush teeth, read 2 stories as they each have to pick one, say prayers and then hugs & kisses and lights out. Well, this particular night, our routine was a bit off and Mommy brushed teeth, got them in bed quickly, gave a few kisses and then attempted to close the door and leave the room. Well, I hear this little voice from the dark say "Mommy,pray Jesus"? So, I come back in the room to see Seth laying there with hands folded, ready to pray. So, I say...go ahead, your turn. He surprises me with "Thank you Jesus for pool, food, Mommy, Daddy, Maiah, Nathan and Katamin(this is how he says her name)and yells AMEN"!!!! We are not at all surprised at the order of things:) However, we are amazed everyday by this sweet broken yet beautiful little boy who just wants to be loved and accepted. Although he does not yet understand the love the Father has for him, he is beginning to understand that he is our son, forever and that nothing he does will change that. Unconditional love is what our Father grants us and so we, being the hands and feet of Jesus on earth.....extend this very same love to our son. Seth will have been home for 2 months on the 24th of this month and look at the impact Jesus is already making in his little heart. We stand in awe.
