Pouring into my kids

I try to pour into my kids lives every opportunity I get, hoping my words and actions are teaching them to be Godly boys.  Last night I saw that they are actually listening to what I have to say.

 

Last night as I was in pain from what I thought was another kidney stone, I hear Nole say from his bed, “Daddy, what is wrong?”  Knowing what had happened to me the last time I had one he said, “ouch, I hope it doesn’t hurt too bad”.  Then about five minutes latter he calls out to me again saying, “Daddy, I have been praying to God that you would have any more pain”.  From that moment on, I really didn’t worry whether or not I had another kidney stone because I was so proud of my son for taking the initiative to pray for someone else other than himself. 

 

I was bubbling over with joy that my kids are actually getting it! What Alison and I are trying to teach them is not going in one ear and out the other!  It also shows me that they are starting to acknowledge that God is real and that He cares for his children.  “Rock On” Nole with your bad self “Rock On”!
